Are these Products at THENADAYOGA Ethically Sourced?

Ethical sourcing is an important question, and one we truly value at THENADAYOGA. In a world where many products are mass-produced with little transparency, we believe customers deserve to know the story behind what they purchase. Ethical sourcing is not just about where a product comes from, it is about how it is made, who makes it, and the respect shown throughout the entire process.

What Ethical Sourcing Means to Us

For us, ethical sourcing means choosing people over profit and tradition over speed. It means working with artisans who are treated fairly, paid respectfully, and allowed to practice their craft with dignity. It also means being mindful of materials, cultural heritage, and long-term sustainability.

At THENADAYOGA, we do not rush production or seek the cheapest methods. Instead, we focus on authenticity, craftsmanship, and intention.

Working Directly with Skilled Artisans

Our products are handmade in Nepal and India by experienced artisans who have learned their skills through generations of practice. These are not factory-made items. Each artisan brings years of knowledge, patience, and care to their work.

By working directly with small workshops and individual craftspeople, we help support local communities and preserve traditional techniques that might otherwise disappear. When you choose a product from THENADAYOGA, you are supporting real people and real craftsmanship.

The Crafting Process: Slow, Traditional, and Intentional

The crafting process of our products is slow and deeply intentional. For example, metal items such as singing bowls and brass statues are shaped using traditional hand tools. Metal is carefully heated, hammered, and formed step by step, requiring precision and experience.

Engraving sacred symbols, such as OM or deity forms, is done by hand, not by machines. This process requires steady hands, focused attention, and respect for spiritual meaning. The artisan works patiently, often spending many hours or even days on a single piece.

Once the item is shaped and detailed, it is polished and checked for quality. Sound tools like singing bowls are tested for tone and resonance, while statues are reviewed for balance and finishing. Only pieces that meet our standards are selected.

Why Handmade Matters

Handmade items are not meant to be perfect or identical. Small variations in shape, color, or texture are natural and reflect the human touch behind each piece. These differences make every item unique and meaningful.

Mass-produced goods may look uniform, but they lack the depth, story, and energy of handmade work. At THENADAYOGA, we believe the value of a product lies in its process, not just its appearance.

Respecting Culture and Spiritual Traditions

Many of our products hold cultural and spiritual significance. We approach these traditions with care and respect, ensuring symbols and designs are created in appropriate ways. We do not treat sacred items as trends or decorations, but as meaningful tools meant to be used with intention.

This respect extends to how products are presented, described, and shared with our customers.

Transparency and Trust

We believe transparency builds trust. That is why we openly share how our products are made and sourced. If you ever have questions about materials, craftsmanship, or origin, we are always happy to answer. info@thenadayoga.com
