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.
Yoga bolsters
Are the padded cushions rectangular or cylindrical in shape, which help you to relax completely in the asanas , help to soften the body and enable gradual and safe stretching. They are available in different dimensions and weights, filled with different materials - e.g. cotton, shell puree, polyester, buckwheat, kapok,..
Most often, bolsters are used in restorative yoga or therapeutic yoga, yin yoga and as support in asanas in other types of yoga. Examples of asanas where we use a bolster: Savasana, Balasana, Viparita karani, Supta Baddha Konasana,...
Bolsters size
Bolsters come in a variety of sizes, from small to large. Small bolsters are suitable for people with small stature or for use in certain positions. Large bolsters are suitable for people with a larger figure or for use in several positions.
Shape of Bolsters

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.

Organic cotton – simply the best for the environment and people!
Worldwide, large quantities of fertilizers and pesticides are used in the cultivation of ordinary cotton. Cotton cultivation accounts for about 25% of global insecticide use and 10% of pesticide use, although it accounts for only 4% of all arable land. For each T-shirt, for example, about 150 grams of poison lands in cotton fields.
Excessive use of chemicals reduces soil fertility and pests become more resistant. Controlled organic farming prohibits the use of toxic and non-degradable chemical synthetic pesticides and fertilizers so that soil and groundwater are not polluted.
The use of genetically modified organisms is also prohibited. People working in textile factories are also exposed to toxins from normal cotton production on a daily basis. That's why Lotuscrafts has resisted such dirty practices and their products boast GOTS certificate (Global Organic Textile Standard).
What is GOTS?
GOTS covers the entire production chain, from extracting raw materials from fields of organic cotton to packaging. At all stages, they take into account environmentally friendly processes, materials and social standards.
Also included are social standards from the International Labor Organization - ensuring fair wages, protection at work and freedom of association, protection against toxic chemicals, a ban on forced labor, child labor, harassment and discrimination.
GOST includes some additional "benefits" for the people involved in the process - for example: they carry out evacuation exercises in case of fire ... It is also involved in the processes of obtaining fiber from controlled animal organic livestock - wool.
