Our story
Behind Tayrona yoga, there are experts passionate about yoga, well-being and digital.
Founded by Patricia Nagelmackers, a fervent yoga enthusiast who aspires to other horizons after a long career in the automotive and environmental sectors, she chose to take up the challenge of online commerce and to express herself through the cultural values of yoga. She decided to leave Paris to reconnect with nature near Lake Annecy. A favorable environment to develop her project and find the best yoga articles adapted to each practice.
After more than 6 years at the head of this project, Patricia handed over the reins of the site to a brand new, young and dynamic team made up of yoga and well-being consultants, keen on digital and innovation.

The name of the Tayrona Yoga site was not chosen at random
The Tayrona Yoga site takes its name from a protected region, the Sierra Nevada. This is where the idea for this project was born.
It is a beautiful mountain range on the edge of the Caribbean in Colombia. For 1800 years, the Tayrona Indians, the last heirs of one of the largest pre-Columbian societies, and their Kogis descendants have lived there, in harmony with nature. But, little by little, their lands were taken away from them and their trees cleared. In addition, the Kogi Indians, through their way of life based on respect for nature, others and the search for balance, share values that yoga advocates. Indeed, for them, spiritual life and balance are everywhere: of oneself, of oneself with others and of oneself with the world and nature.
An attachment to trees, the lungs of the planet
It is for all these reasons and because of our constant concern to protect our planet that we support the association " Tchendukua - Here and Elsewhere ".
The latter has been committed to safeguarding the biodiversity of Kogis lands since 1997 by reforesting their ancestral lands.
