THRIVE FIRST. ALIGN FULLY.
Wellness doesn't begin in stillness.
It begins in motion, in joy, in the decision
to show up for yourself.
Our Core Pillars
The ideas that hold the heart of everything we make.
Thrive
To thrive is to grow wildly, to reach outward, to embrace energy and expansion. It's the permission to feel good now, without waiting for the perfect conditions.
Align
To align fully is to come home to yourself, to move with intention and find the rhythm that nourishes and sustains you. Alignment is where thriving takes root. Where it deepens.
Create
We craft pieces that honor both, made with care to support your everyday moments of rest and renewal.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make wellness accessible to everyone, whether you’re taking your first breath on the mat or deepening your lifelong practice. Through honest craftsmanship and thoughtful design, we’re here to help you start where you are and align fully through your journey.
Our Story
Thrive & Align was founded by Arthur Santos, whose twelve years of experience perfecting yoga bolster craftsmanship built a quiet devotion to the art of making things well. That work shaped a belief in the power of thoughtfully made pieces to support practice, rest, and healing.
After stepping away to focus on life with his partner, Arthur returned with new purpose. Together with co-founder Olga Doronina, he saw how much the wellness world had changed and how rare it had become to find pieces that still felt intentional, soulful, and truly crafted.
That realization became the spark for Thrive & Align.
Now, with a small, dedicated team, we carry forward more than twenty-eight years of combined experience in the craft. The same artisans who helped shape the foundation of yoga products many already know and love are reunited to create something new.
All our soft goods are made here in Vancouver, every stitch shaped by the same hands that have worked side by side for over a decade.
A journey that began in apprenticeship now continues in partnership.
A tradition of craftsmanship carried forward with intention, beauty, and care.
