Product Information

In most cases, you’ll be able to remove the cover and throw this in the washing machine just like you would your clothing. But you’ll want to make sure it’s on a cold, gentle cycle and hang it up to dry afterwards. Opening the machine to find a cover half the size of your actual yoga bolster is not a good way to maintain your newly discovered zen. The hemp, linen, rubber mats are printed with water-soluble inks and use non-chemical bonding agents.

Size is something you’ll want to watch out for when purchasing a yoga bolster — trust us, we've been burned before. It's not uncommon to find a relatively cheap yoga bolster online, rejoice and then discover, upon its arrival, that it is way smaller than you expected and definitely not large enough to support your body the way you need it to. No one needs a yoga bolster, just like you don’t technically need a lovely pair of yoga leggings to get your daily yoga session in. But yoga bolsters are more than a nice-to-have, and with the potential to improve your practice, why wouldn’t you use one? Yoga bolsters can benefit you in a number of different ways:When lying with the yoga bolster along the length of your spine, their long length and narrow shape will allow you to open up your chest and deepen your breathing. Using a tape measure, take the measurements of the space where you’ll need to install the paver and then, with chalk or pencil, mark up lines on the paving slab where it needs to be cut. While the medical grade acupuncture spikes on the RelaxFast™are synthetic, the fabric and coconut fiber fill is all-natural. Yoga bolsters are generally used in two main ways. Anna De Sousa, expert instructor at MoreYoga, explains how: Liforme supports charity partners such as Tree-Nation, the RSPCA, and Friends of the Earth, to which partial proceeds of sales of their “Purple Earth” yoga mat collection go directly.

Our favorite yoga bolsters are the Manduka Enlight Rectangular Bolster, Brentwood Home Crystal Cove Yoga Bolster, and Gaiam Sol Studio Round Yoga Bolster. Each of these bolsters offers maximum comfort and dense, yet plush support with the added bonus of being aesthetically pleasing in your home.Comfort: As great as yoga is on a yoga mat, there’s something about hugging a yoga bolster during a restorative pose that feels incredibly comforting. Plus, sitting, lying or kneeling is a lot more comfortable with a yoga bolster than with only a thin layer separating you from the floor below. A curved edge or circle can bring a new dimension to your outdoor space, but you’ll need to cut your pavers at an angle to get the look. While you can use a chisel and mallet to do this, you may find you get a more precise cut with power tools.

To show you just how dreamy a bolster-based session can be, De Sousa has provided three simple yoga stretches with a yoga bolster, including her favourite variation of Savasana. Be warned though, you may never want to return to a regular Savasana after trying this. This sequence is approximately an hour long, though the exact duration will vary depending on the time you take for counterposes, transitions, and savasana.

While Mukha encompasses many brands, they take pride in partnering with companies whose supply chains are as green as possible. Cheaply made, plastic, low quality materials that made up most of the yoga industry products didn’t vibe with yoga teachers and founders of Complete Unity Yoga. Some of their products are made in the UK, but we’re overall a little unclear on their supply chain, and will be reaching out to ask. Many of the eco-friendly yoga props that help you perfect your daily ashtanga practice can be made with sustainable fabrics, like cork, hemp, and organic cotton or recycled cotton.
