Keeping in mind the philosophy behind yoga, Wild Earth has developed the Yogi Yogini range using the purifying Ayurvedic herbs Ashwagandha and Shatavari. These two herbs have been used in the Himalayas for longevity and vitality since ancient times, and are believed to hold many medicinal secrets.

Yogis and Yoginis in ancient India traditionally lived in wild forests, jungles, and Himalayan caves, bathing in streams and waterfalls. Filled with rich Ayurvedic herbs traditionally used by yogis to cleanse and replenish the skin, our Yogi and Yogini Soaps inspire inner journeys of reverie through the simple act of bathing with awareness.

Ashwagandha is a herb symbolic of Shiva, the Hindu god of ‘perfect consciousness,’ and is considered an ancient male rejuvenating herb. Believed to bring back the stamina and vitality to your body, it is given to women right after pregnancy to restore her strength. The herb is also given to the elderly for the same reason.

Shatavari is a herb symbolic of Shakti or Power. It is an ancient female rejuvenating herb. It is known to be good for the joints, wonderful for the skin, and helpful for female fertility.
