Emily  started out as a home accessories and beauty buying manager for top retailers.  After traveling the world developing products, she knew the candles on offer could be so much better and decided it was time to launch her own new venture. So she spent a year testing hundreds of essential oil, plant waxes, experimenting with wicks to create the kind of candles she had been searching for.  Emily formed the idea for Yougi when in India doing a yoga training; Inspired by ayurveda, yogic philosophy and plant medicine.
