Nothing beats inspiration like a good book. Come browse our book section at your leisure! New titles monthly. Yoga, Ayurveda, herbalism, cooking, self-help, colouring, anatomy, lifestyle, fiction, inspiration, and so much more!
MALAS
The malas by Shanti Collective are created in Victoria by Rachel Hurst. Made from Rudraksha beads, sandalwood and gemstones, these are made with love and intention, to connect you to your higher self and calling.
JOY-A-TOES
Joy-a-toes are fabulous toe spreaders you can use in your practice to bring awareness to the tips of your toes – balancing the myofascia and supporting the joints of the foot. They come in pairs, and in two sizes, Small and Large. Begin by wearing the Small ones when sitting or practicing your asanas, then move on to Large ones as your toes spread.
SOLEMATE SOCKS
We love cozy, beautiful and colorful things, and when they are also unique and made from recycled material, be sure we’ll be all over it. Made in the States with recycled cotton yarn, Solmate socks are the fun, patterned, mismatched, carpe diem infused socks to wear with a smile. “Life’s too short for matching socks!” Watch for their arrival on our shelves when the weather gets cool!
SMOKING LILY CLOTHING
Smoking Lily handcrafted goods are made by a group of talented local women who design, sew and silk screen their creations right here in their Victoria studio. Smoking Lily tries to buy most of their supplies locally; use non-toxic ink; work with bamboo, leftover and vintage fabrics; and strive to have zero fabric waste. Comfortable, stylish, and uniquely recognizable as Smoking Lily, you will cherish each piece for a long time.
The Twig + Stone Botanical Medicine collection of ready-made tinctures addresses common maladies and help to anchor, steady and build resilience within you. The creation of these medicines are an invitation to bring the power, beauty and wildness of plant medicines into your life.
