About our yoga bolsters

Making our bolsters is based on the use of natural materials, where hemp, organic cotton and recycled materials play a key role. The bolster case can be made from pure hemp, from a mixture of hemp and organic cotton, from a mixture of hemp and some recycled material (e.g. polyester), or from any mixture where hemp is the main ingredient.

When it comes to filling , for our bolsters we use a filling that is 100% natural, made of spelt husks and recycled raw wool. The availability of stuffing will depend on when you order the bolster because we try to follow the established harvesting processes (eg for spelt husks), or when the sheep are sheared.

Due to its lower weight (half the weight, compared to buckwheat husks), as well as the specific smell (mild hay smell) and unique experience when using a bolster, we recommend filling with spelt husks, although raw wool is also a great option .

Flavored filling is achieved by adding various dried herbs. This will allow you to relax more easily and enjoy the moments of practicing yoga

Maintenance

Thanks to the functional design, maintaining the bolster is an easy task. Like the bolster pillow case, the bolster pillow has a hidden zipper, which allows adequate maintenance of cleanliness. The bolster pillow case and bolster pillow can be washed at 30-40 degrees, and if necessary, the filling can be aired. Don't forget to remove the filling before washing the bolster pillow.

Bolster use

The bolster is designed to keep the body in a certain asana or pose, more comfortably. It can be used in various yoga styles, but it's particularly suitable for Yin yoga, because in Yin yoga asanas, the body posture is held for several minutes. Here you can see how various accessories are used in yoga, including bolsters:
