YOGA BOLSTERS without the chemicals of cotton
Organic Yoga Bolsters are hard to find, but well worth the extra price to practice living gently on the earth and to protect yourself from the offgassing of flame retardens and formaldehyde added to cotton batting. Yoga bolsters are used for restorative yoga poses, especially back stretching. Little do most people know, they also make an incredible piece of furniture. The rectangular bolster can be used as a backrest either in the 'yoga lounge' shown or by itself on the floor or bed. The cylindar bolster makes a raised 'massage table' when lying in prone position face down. The cylindar bolster can also be used as a body pillow or to prop the feet up when lying in bed.
Stuffed firmly with environmentally-friendly kapok, this 100% cotton muslin cushion comes with a zippered, washable, 100% cotton cover. Features a handle on one end for convenient carrying.
Western furniture is built on the flawed paradigm of the 'table-and-chair-culture". We offer a revolutionary, freeing, and movement-frendly alternative to your home, office and studio.
Specifics
All head pillows have two layers. The inside is 100% cotton ticking. The outer cover is 100% organic cotton sateen. Sateen is very soft, 240 thread count, off white fabric.
Body pillows are made with 100% cotton muslin inside with removable sateen case.
Bolsters have an inner muslin case with a zippered, removable cover of canvas or twill. All pillows and cushions have an opening which allows addition or removal of stuffing material to adjust to individual height/density.
We design pillows with the principles of the New Ergonomics and the somatic arts. Unlike Western home furnishings designed for fashion and pomp, our pillows offer a simpler yet elegant atmosphere to the home.
We offer a limited variety of pillows which offer a wide range of uses. Our yoga bolsters can be used to form a "lounge" position for use on a bed or floor. This is a very comfortable position for reading, writing, or other activities when you want to rest your back with no strain on your neck. Use a lap pillow (our Smile Cushion™ works well for this) to prop a book or laptop computer.
Our Japanese buckwheat pillows support the neck and are moldable to conform to whatever shape you need at any particular time. These pillows can help realign the neck which gets pushed too far forward from chair sitting. Overstuffed western pillows only push the head too far forward which may "feel" comfortable but is actually maintaining a forward jutting head (lardosis). In this case, BIGGER is not BETTER. For side-sleeping, just fold your rectangular pillow in half. Pillows are fun and can be used in several ways. We love to put a buckwheat pillow under our knees when sleeping on the back. This supports the lumbar curve of the spine and feels like restorative yoga. There's nothing like it! Also, to cut out noise, place a pillow on each side of the head, covering your ears.
Eye pillows quieten the muscles around the eyes and this relaxes the brain. This is very effective at helping some people calm down easier and faster. Eye pillows also block out the light which is another reason they can help with deeper sleep. Fresh picked organic lavendar petals from a local farm add soothing aromatherapy for those who like it.
The Body Pillow offers relief from the effects of gravity.
Here is how is works: Side sleeping can collapse the shoulders and hips. But when hugging this big pillow, the shoulders and chest are kept wide. At the same time the pillow goes between the knees to keep the hips wide. Widening the chest allows deeper breathing and relaxation, and the fetal curl is the best sleeping position according to some chiropractors.
Our kapok stuffed body pillows are sewn with organic cotton fabric, which makes them breathable to prevent sweating. We stuff our body pillow firmly, which provides more support. We recommend placing your head on a buckwheat pillow and NOT the body pillow. Placing the head on the body pillow, as shown on many websites, will result in a stiff neck because it pushes the neck out of alignment. Our body pillow is small to make it much easier to move it out of the way when not using it. When the head isn't placed on the body pillow, it doesn't need to be as long. The body pillow doubles as an excellent bolster under the knees. It can be placed at the back of the bed during the day.To learn more about how to create restorative, movement-friendly spaces, sign up for our ter. For sleeping ergonomics, click here.
