About Us
UYI is a wellness brand rooted in intention, ritual, and restoration.
UYI comes from the Edo word that signifies honor, glory, and respect. UYI Wellness Company™ creates wellness tools that invite you to reconnect with your body, your breath, and your inner rhythm.Our products are designed not just for movement, but for stillness, grounding, and the daily rituals that return us to ourselves.
We believe that healing is not a destination but a practice – one that looks different for everyone. Whether through movement, rest, reflection, or breath, UYI Wellness accessories are made to support your journey without judgment or limitation.
UYI is not about performance or perfection. It’s about presence.
At the heart of our work is a belief that healing is not isolated. When one person heals, the impact extends outward. That’s why every product is part of something bigger.
What You Honor, Echoes.
Who we are
This brand was born from a deep desire to reconnect with ourselves, with our rhythms, and with the quiet strength that carries us through life. The name UYI means “honor,” and that intention flows through everything we create: to move with purpose, to live with balance, and to remember who we are at our core.
In creating UYI, I wanted to offer something more than just wellness products. I wanted to create a space that reflects beauty, depth, and tradition, without saying a word. A space that embraces both stillness and strength. That holds space for people from all walks of life to come home to themselves. My wellness journey is rooted not only in personal healing but also in my professional path. With a Master of Public Health (MPH), I have spent over a decade working in health policy alongside organizations committed to supporting vulnerable communities - those facing poverty, homelessness, mental health crises, and dependence on government programs. That experience shaped my understanding of how health is more than medical care; it’s about access, dignity, and daily rituals of self-care.
Our products are designed not only for movement, but for meaning. Each pattern, each line, and each color is rooted in stories—symbols of resilience, harmony, and self-respect. I believe that how we care for ourselves is a reflection of what we value most. That care does not end with us — it ripples, echoing forward into our families, communities, and the generations that come after us.
This brand is for the seekers, the doers, the tired, and the bold. It’s for anyone who wants to navigate life with greater intention and integrity. I hope that when you unroll your mat, you feel grounded, uplifted, and deeply seen.
Thank you for being here. Let’s rise, rest, and reflect together.
For wellness, for all

As UYI grows, proceeds will support wellness access in underserved communities globally including initiatives focused on schools, women, and children across the diaspora. Because healing should not be a privilege—it should be a possibility.
But UYI is more than a product. It is a platform for transformation, a growing ecosystem of creators, teachers, and wellness spaces united by a shared commitment to truth, healing, and grounded practice. Through design, community, and conscious giving, UYI empowers individuals to reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
UYI is a movement.
