Alo Yoga was founded in 2007 in Los Angeles by Danny Harris and Marco DeGeorge, childhood friends who had become interested in yoga as a treatment for anxiety and a back injury respectively.[1] The name stands for “air, land, and ocean”.[1] The brand rose to prominence when celebrities who received free products such as Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Bella Hadid wore Alo in paparazzi photographs.[2][3]
