THE DESIGNER
Beginning her creative journey at an early age, yoga has been a mechanism for coping with difficult times for founder Kati, offering a sanctuary through home practice. Kati’s career began working for the likes of Vivienne Westwood, before deciding she wanted to make a positive impact on the industry herself. Inspired by the cultures, colours and energies she had experienced whilst travelling, she began to bring together her passions for art, creativity, design and sustainability to create Kati Kaia.
ABOUT THE BRAND
With the aim to challenge, innovate and reignite the excitement of yoga, Kati Kaia combines abstract expressionist art with traditional accessories and products to inspire and encourage positive practices. With sustainability at the core founder Kati searched the globe for the most sustainable materials without compromising on performance. Kati Kaia allows you to bring a piece of art to all of your classes.
