What is Ujjaya?
As a mom of young children, Tedessa Doff knows how challenging it can be to carve out time and space for self-care. Ironically, it’s when we feel nurtured, connected, and balanced that we can truly serve others. What mom (or dad, for that matter) has time to get nurture, connection, and balance? As Tedessa’s husband Jeff says, “Life can be a whirlwind, and then you look down and wonder where your bowl of ice cream just went.”
As a long time practitioner of yoga and certified yoga instructor, Tedessa has years of experience in returning to center. After coming up with an idea for a new yoga product invention, Tedessa decided to create a company that could help share the vision and offer tools for surviving and thriving in life.
Tedessa chose the name Ujjaya for the company, inspired by "ujjayi breathing" done in many yoga classes. In her yoga classes, Tedessa teaches that yoga and breath help us to stay centered in the difficult moments on and off the mat. Ujjaya's mission is to inspire and support people in feeling like your best self most of the time.
