Letter From the Designer: Metamophosis Collection

I am really excited to introduce our Metamorphosis Collection, a collection that is indicative of a major change at YD. This transition has been both exhilarating and scary but it is a leap that I believe is the best step forward for our company; one that honors our core values of sustainability, socially conscious, earth friendly practices, all while making clothes that bring joy, intention, and love to our Free Range Humans.

There are two prints launching in this Metamorphosis Collection. First is our Emerge print, where you can see the transition from caterpillars down at the ankle, then as the artwork rises up the leg you see their cocoons, and they “emerge” as beautiful

Letter From the Designer: Ouroboros

Letter From the Designer: Ouroboros

Allow me to introduce you to our latest art piece, the "Ouroboros.”

The Ouroboros, is an ancient symbol, which in short, represents the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

But at the heart of the Ouroboros is the idea of unity and wholeness, a concept that resonates deeply with the yoga philosophy. Just as we seek unity within ourselves through our practice, the Ouroboros embodies the

Letter From the Designer: Wisdom Seeker

I’ve been trying to figure out how to put this inspiration into words. I feel like I am unveiling something deeply personal and vulnerable with this new print launch “Wisdom Seeker,” a print that has been inspired by the teachings of my beloved grandfather, who passed away last summer.

He was a truly remarkable man who spread so much light and love to those around him, and dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of education as a school principal. 

He taught me a million lessons, but one I’ll never forget, “Education will set you free.” I realize now he wasn’t just talking about formal education. I think what he really meant was

Letter From The Designer: Celestial Timing

Today is finally the day I get to introduce our latest print, "Celestial Timing." 

The "Celestial Timing" print is a product of so many pieces of inspiration, things in my life that have led me to the same symbol over and over this past year. And what really inspired me to finally bring this piece to fruition was a Tarot Card that I kept pulling from my deck—a card that depicted open hands.

Human Of The Month: Sedona Holzinger

Tell us a little about yourself and what you like to do!

Hey there! I'm Sedona, also known as Soulful Sedona. The "soulful" part of my name reflects my deep commitment to living a soulful and enriching life. I believe in flowing through life's experiences, surrendering to the journey, and nurturing my mind, body, and soul along the way.

Being a digital nomad allows me to follow life's currents, whether it leads me to yoga retreats, events, or connecting with the spirit of Pachamama in different corners of the globe. I wholeheartedly embrace a joy-filled existence, engaging in activities that bring me pure happiness. I'm always open to change, continuously learning, and authentically living as my true self. My hope is to inspire others to do the same and embrace their own unique journey.

Letter From the Designer: Rainbow Love

Every year we drop a dynamic rainbow print to celebrate our friends in the LGBTQIA+ community. This year, our rainbow drop is all about LOVE. 


This print was originally inspired by the shapes in our Queen of Hearts print we launched this past Valentine’s Day. As I was testing that one, my mouth dropped to the floor and I was like OMG PRIDE. And as I was testing every color of the rainbow to finally

Letter from the Designer: Indie Flow

Welcome our newest bright, floral print to join the YD collection, Indie Flow. 


I wanted this print to come to life with big flowers and vivid colors with a sharp contrast background. When we were thinking of names, I knew I wanted it to have a creative spin on the word flower, and when Travis suggested Indie Flow I knew this was the perfect name,

Letter From the Designer: Tropical Paradise

Close your eyes, and imagine you're in paradise. 

Do you feel at peace? Are you with people you love? Are you surrounded by singing birds and palm trees? Does the radiant sun glaze your skin with its warmth and nourishment? Can you feel the vibration of ocean waves crashing beneath your feet? Are you pleasantly stimulated by all the vivid colors and novel sounds that you wouldn't experience during your normal hectic day? Is this where your happiness lives?

Letter From the Designer: Pure Sage

I have been waiting for the perfect moment to design a print featuring sage because of all the herb's amazing healing, cleansing, and purifying properties. I feel like that moment is finally here. 

After all the growth, gut punches, discomfort, and triumph the last few years have brought us all, I feel like my life has found a new homeostasis. I feel like I can finally breathe again, make goals, and push toward them without

Letter From the Designer: Made of Stone Collection

Our Made of Stone Collection has finally dropped! These prints were inspired on my solo trip to Alaska last summer, where I stayed in a van on a mostly dried up river bed for eight days, reading, dancing, hiking, knitting, singing and enjoying this beautiful life. At the time, I felt totally burnt out, void of inspiration and creativity. This beautiful place had all the fixings for an incredible adventure that could reinvigorate and propel me to take my life back.

Letter From the Designer: Queen of Hearts

Oh Valentine's Day, the real MVP of all the Hallmark Holidays, is back again and we’re bringing out some big love energy with our all new print drop, Queen of Hearts. 

I really don’t need another reason to design a print with cute little hearts on it. They’re sweet, make people smile, frame the tush super nicely and can almost certainly make for a happy day while wearing them. And maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I actually think
