Yoga Gear


Dog bone Neck Pillows

These raw silk beauties are going to become your new best friend. They are wonderful for neck support during relaxation segments in yoga programs, especially for people with neck issues. They are also terrific for reading in bed and watching TV. My 89 year old mom loves hers! The pillow can be unzipped and the filling removed to wash the pillow. You can also remove some of the stuffing or add more according to your preference.

Retail price $26 (pillow and stuffing) or $20 for unstuffed pillow cover (easier and cheaper for shipping.)

The stuffing can be purchased at any sewing store or big box store. There are even recycled fibers that can be found.

 



Yoga Relaxation Eye Pillow System

Many yoga instructors offer eye pillows to block out the light allowing fuller relaxation.

Our system includes a zippered cotton liner (shown here in cream), filled with flax seed. The flax seed can be removed to wash the liner. Fragrant herbs or aroma therapy can be added inside the liner.

The liner pops into a beautiful raw silk cover (shown in olive green.) The fan at the bottom of the photo shows a few of the other colour options.

We also offer a soft silk sleeve that can be slipped over the pillow and washed between uses to avoid transfer of infectious bacteria if the pillow is shared by participants in classes. It can also be used to keep the raw silk cover clean between uses. Our sleeve is shown here at the top of the system in an iridescent teal.

Retail price for stuffed pillow, cover and sleeve is $26.

Retail price for the stuffed pillow and raw silk cover is $22.
