About Us

Being creative has always been a passion and over the years I have found great joy in trying out all sorts of sewing projects. From backpacks for our college kids and their friends to a stint of making ballet and dance gear as well as dance bags.  For me the idea always has been to channel this art form into something useful.  My best challenge is making an item where there is no existing pattern.

Who would have known that a present made for our daughter, Michelle’s upcoming birthday would have been the vision for our Speciality Meditation Cushion! 

She had been actively meditating for a few months and we thought it would be a perfect gift idea to make her a cushion in support of her quest for a calmer, more focused lifestyle.  I had heard that some people find the small round meditation cushions to be rather uncomfortable for a longer meditation session and so I scouted online for inspiration.  Eventually I arrived at an idea which I loved and after some tweaking the size and shape, arrived at what is now our Sankalpa Meditation Cushion.

While sleepless one very early morning, I went to read in a spare room and saw our daughter's present there, waiting to be wrapped.  I decided to give it a “test” run and ended up seated on it for almost an hour. I was so relaxed and comfortable that I hadn't had the urge to get up the whole time. 

It was a lightbulb moment and we decided it was a fantastic idea to make these cushions.  The rest is history.

Our Sankalpa Meditation Cushion, is indeed a New Kid in Town with its unique shape & design and our wish is that it brings you as much joy as we have experienced developing it.

We also have a range of Yoga mat sleeves & bags coming soon and are happy to take on custom made bags and items on request.  We also hope to be introducing a range of floor cushions for living spaces as well as for children’s rooms.   So whether it’s a meditation cushion you need to help set your intention for a calm and focused lifestyle, or something custom made, we hope that your chosen item will enhance your life and your living space.  

All our products are proudly handmade in South Africa by our small team (my husband, Johan and I ;) ) and we take great pride in turning out well made and unique items.
