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.

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.

Peshtemals towel Soul
Peshtemals are not classic terry cloth towels, even though they are just as absorbent. Peshtemal is a towel that has been used in Turkey for the hamam (Turkish sauna, spa) or as a cover for a bed or sofa for centuries.
They are woven very tightly, densely, so they are extremely strong and durable. They have stylish handmade tassels that make them look more elegant and traditional at the same time. Because peshtemals are woven "straight", they are light and take up very little space, making them the perfect companion on our travels. They are ideal for our next holiday, you can roll them up and they are perfectly packed, they don't wrinkle and they really take up very little space.
You can wear your peshtemal as a pareo by the pool or on the beach. It can be worn draped over the shoulder or wrapped around the body - this way it simultaneously protects us from the sun's rays and wraps us in a warm hug during the evening chill. In this way, the peshtemal is popular with women as well as men. On the beaches of St. Tropez and Cannes, many stars have been spotted wearing it (think Jennifer Aniston, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro and Demi Moore). It is very light and airy and "feels great on your skin"!
Many use it as a home textile (home decor). Such as tablecloths, covers for sofas, beds... It's great as a picnic blanket!
In yoga and meditation, you can use it as a blanket for savasana, as a meditation scarf. You can roll it up and use it to support yourself in asana.
See for yourself why the fairy-tale peshtemal has been popular all over the world for centuries.
