Yoga bolsters and blankets

Bolsters and blankets for support in positions, for savasana, meditation

Yoga blanket

Yoga blanket is an indispensable accessory for meditation, for static asanas and asana savasana; the position of the body when we are lying resting on the floor and makes us feel warm and comfortable. The blanket can also provide great support and comfort in other asanas - from basic (support for sitting positions) to advanced (ustrasana, headstand). The blanket can be rolled up to relax the legs and support the lower back, or be used as a knee pad. Its advantage is height and shape adjustment. Made of natural or environmentally friendly materials, it will keep you pleasantly warm even while resting on the couch.

How to choose the right yoga bolster?

Bolster in yoga is used as a support in various asanas. Like other yoga accessories (blocks, blanket, straps, wheel...), the bolster helps us to relieve the parts of the body in an asana or when we go into a certain asana.

Bolsters are restorative yoga. They help to support the body, provide comfort, and with their help we achieve better blood circulation.
