The yoga blanket, an accessory for your comfort
The yoga blanket is made of recycled cotton or wool. It measures approximately 2 m long by 1.20 m wide.
What is the yoga blanket used for?
At first glance, you may wonder about the usefulness of a yoga blanket during practice. But what can it possibly be used for?
Usually, at the end of a gentle yoga session, your teacher will ask you to do a moment of meditation . This is where this yoga textile comes into play, because during these tens of minutes of relaxation your body cools down and therefore needs to be covered.
This yoga accessory , present at the beginning or end of the class, during meditation or rest phases, can have several functions:
- You can wrap yourself up during Pranayama and cover yourself during Savasana to keep warm,
- The yoga blanket has the possibility of being used as a cushion for the meditation phase,
- If folded in four, it can be used as a support when performing several postures such as Sālamba Sarvāngāsana or Halāsana ,
- And finally, when folded, it becomes a support during forward stretching positions or twists.
Ideally, it is recommended to have three yoga blankets with you during practice so that the body is properly supported during the postures.
