Our Story

Long before Y.S Alley was a store, it was a moment in the Himalayas.

Our founders — Yvonne and Susan, lifelong seekers of calm — first heard the shimmering ring of a hand-hammered singing bowl in a small village market at dawn. The note lingered in the cool mountain air, then faded into silence, leaving one truth: everyone deserves a space where that kind of stillness is possible.

Back home, that vision became a collection of treasures for the mind, body, and spirit: healing crystals and stones for energy and clarity, birthstone jewelry for personal meaning, aromatherapy and essential oils for grounding the senses, incense and burners for sacred spaces, and sound healing instruments like singing bowls and chimes for deep resonance.

Every piece is chosen with care, passing two simple tests:

1. Does it invite your breath to slow?
2. Is it made in harmony with people and planet?

Today, Y.S Alley ships worldwide, but our heart still beats to that single note drifting over stone houses and prayer flags. When you hold one of our crystals, wear a birthstone close to your heart, or strike a bowl, you’re not just using an object — you’re stepping through a doorway to Yearning · Silence.

May that doorway stay open in your life, one mindful breath at a time. 🌿
