santí

Unique offerings of yoga & cositas rooted in love and Afro-Latinidad.

santi was created by a student who wanted to spread love through yoga. Not just any,  but something truer to the eight limbs, with depth, and maybe slightly taboo by Western standards.

FÁTIMA ALVARENGA never saw herself reflected in traditional wellness spaces, so she built her own. What emerged were unique yoga experiences for students of any level to explore the path to inner peace, with little things to support the journey.

This must be the time and place 

Off the mat, still in practice

Some holy wood for that

mal de ojo

Or any other funky vibe you can’t quite name.

Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), aka “holy wood”, has been used for centuries in Peru and Ecuador as spiritual medicine for cleansing, protection, and energetic grounding.

santi offers Grade A quality ~ naturally high in resin (that’s that rich scent and smooth burn) and collected only from naturally fallen wood.

We source directly from a small collective in PIURA, PERU, where proceeds help support local and Indigenous communities.

  • Everything at santi is done with care for you, and for the Earth.

    We keep things low-waste and intentional, from the packaging to the print materials.

    Every order is packed in recyclable, compostable, or reusable materials, including our cotton muslin pouches and paper tags.

    No unnecessary plastics. Just what’s needed, nothing more.

    It’s how we show respect for the land that gives us this medicine.

    And when it comes to Palo Santo, we take that responsibility seriously.

    We only use Bursera graveolens, a species that is not endangered, though often confused with others that are.

    All of our wood is naturally fallen, never cut live, and sourced from a small collective in PIURA, PERU that works directly with local and Indigenous communities to keep the tradition and the ecosystem alive.

  • We love seeing our cositas land in aligned spaces. If you’re a studio, shop, or brand interested in carrying santi goods, or want to place a bulk order for your community, event, or retreat, reach out to discuss consignment and wholesale options.
