In 1986, Hugger Mugger Yoga Products was founded by Sara Chambers in Salt Lake City, Utah. A custom furniture builder, Chambers was a devoted student of Cita Mason and David Riley, local Iyengar Yoga teachers, when she attended her first weekend workshop with the late Mary Dunn. After the class, she was struck with inspiration after noticing the teacher and students struggling with make-shift props. From then on, her new products became a hit. 

Motivated by her new inventions, Chambers began making Iyengar-inspired yoga props in the basement of her home. She named her company Hugger Mugger, after the shorts that started it all. (Hugger Mugger means “to conceal.”) She consulted with her teachers to come up with sturdy, innovative, and functional products, including handmade yoga blocks set to B.K.S. Iyengar‘s specifications.

Hugger Mugger takes great pride for their USA-made and handmade products, heavy metal and phthalate-free yoga mats, and eco-friendly yoga products, including biodegradable TPE mats, natural rubber mats, cork and bamboo blocks, and more.
