Yoga Blankets

Yoga blankets are perhaps the most versatile Yoga Equipment. You can sit or lie on your blanket during your yoga session or cover your body with the same blanket while doing the Corpse, Final Corpse Pose or Relaxation Poses, or whenever you feel cold. These blankets provide extra padding and support under your back, neck or legs and enhance the relaxation and comfort ability, which is important in the practice of Yoga. These blankets provide extra height, absorb sweat, and help you maintain a pose. Many sitting, kneeling, and lying poses can be practiced more comfortably by using Yoga Blankets.

You can use your blanket in different ways for different poses like, you can stack some Blankets together to create a firm yet flexible surface for shoulder-stands or you can roll up your blanket for restorative poses. These blankets can also used with Yoga mats to add warmth and cushioning. When rolled up they can also be used as substitute to the Yoga Bolster. These blankets are very popular among the practitioners of Bikram and Ashtanga Yoga.

Yoga Blankets are made of different materials like wool, cotton, polyester blend, acrylic, felt or a Mexican blanket blend. The hand woven blankets are most popular as they are ideal for placing onto Yoga mats and easy to maintain. They are easy to carry as you can store them in your yoga bag to bring it anywhere.
