How did Warrior Addict begin its journey?
Our story traces back to 2015 when Warrior Addict emerged as a men’s yoga brand, driven by the core values of People, Planet, and Product, blended with a deep love for everything yoga. In the subsequent years, we expanded, becoming the largest men’s yoga brand in the UK, and our products found homes worldwide. During this incredible period, we encountered numerous founder-led brands that echoed our ethos and values. Recognizing the potential to unite these like-minded brands, we envisioned the creation of a beautifully curated marketplace for yoga and wellness. Our aspiration was to collaborate and offer a space where inspiration and values could converge, fostering a community centred on yoga and holistic wellbeing.

This encompasses a comprehensive approach, evaluating a product's lifetime, carbon footprint, fabric waste, energy and water consumption, supply chain transparency, and disposability. Our commitment to the PLANET extends to every vendor in our network, including ourselves, advocating for sustainable practices at every step.
Our dedication to PRODUCT is about crafting beautifully made yoga and wellness products that defy conventional offerings. Each product is born from inspiration and creativity while maintaining a profound respect for our planet. It's our way of ensuring that our customers experience something truly exceptional.
