FAQ
Welcome to our FAQ section. We understand that choosing the right yoga products can feel overwhelming with so many options available. Below, we have compiled answers to the most common questions we receive from our community.

Product Selection
What types of yoga products does your store offer?
Our store carries a comprehensive range of yoga products designed to support practitioners at every stage of their journey. This includes foundational items such as yoga mats, blocks, bolsters, straps, and wedges, as well as apparel including leggings, tops, and layering pieces. We also offer meditation cushions, movement wheels, grip weights, and various accessories to enhance your practice both on and off the mat.
How do I choose the right yoga mat for my practice?
Selecting a yoga mat depends on several factors, including the type of yoga you practice, your preference for cushioning, and the surface where you typically practice. Thicker mats provide more joint support and are ideal for restorative practices or for those who experience knee or wrist discomfort. Thinner mats offer greater stability and ground connection, making them suitable for more dynamic practices where balance and grip are essential. Consider the material as well—natural rubber offers excellent grip, while PVC and TPE options provide durability and lightweight portability.
What are yoga blocks used for, and which type should I choose?
Yoga blocks are versatile props that bring the floor closer to you, allowing you to maintain proper alignment in poses where flexibility may be limited. They provide support, stability, and can deepen your stretches over time. We offer blocks in various materials including high-density EVA foam, cork, and wood. Foam blocks are lightweight and soft, cork blocks offer a firm, eco-friendly option with natural grip, and wood blocks provide maximum stability for more advanced practitioners.
What is the difference between a rectangular bolster and a round bolster?
Both bolsters support your practice, but they serve slightly different purposes. Rectangular bolsters provide a stable, flat surface that is excellent for seated meditation, supported backbends, and restorative poses where you need even support across a broader area. Round bolsters are ideal for opening the chest and shoulders, supporting the spine in backbends, and providing comfortable elevation for the knees or ankles in seated positions.
What is a yoga wedge, and how can it benefit my practice?
A yoga wedge is a sloped prop that provides angled support for various poses. It can be placed under the heels in standing poses to reduce hamstring strain, under the wrists to alleviate pressure in weight-bearing poses, or under the hips in seated positions to improve posture. Made from lightweight materials, wedges are easy to store and carry to your practice space.
Do you carry yoga apparel?
Yes, we offer a thoughtfully curated selection of yoga clothing for women, including leggings, tops, sports bras, and layering pieces. Our apparel combines functionality with style—designed to move with you, wick moisture, and transition seamlessly from studio to street.
Product Use & Practice
How do I use a meditation cushion properly?
A meditation cushion, such as a crescent-shaped or round zafu, is designed to elevate your hips slightly above your knees, allowing your pelvis to tilt forward naturally. This position helps you maintain a tall, upright spine with less strain on your lower back, feet, ankles, and hips. Our cushions are often filled with buckwheat hulls, which conform to your body shape while providing firm, stable support.
What is a movement wheel, and how do I incorporate it into my practice?
A movement wheel is a circular prop that helps deepen your asana practice by opening the heart, shoulders, chest, and spine. It can be used for backbends, stretching the front body, and improving spinal mobility. Beginners can start by using the wheel against a wall for support, gradually working toward more advanced movements as flexibility and confidence increase.
How can I use grip weights in my yoga practice?
Grip weights add resistance to your practice, helping build strength and endurance. They can be incorporated into standing poses, arm balances, and transitions to increase the intensity of your workout. Their compact, ergonomic design makes them easy to hold during dynamic movements.
Are your products suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. Our products are designed to support practitioners of all levels. Beginners may benefit from starting with foundational props like blocks and straps, which help build confidence and proper alignment. As your practice evolves, you can explore more specialized tools to deepen and diversify your experience.

Product Care & Maintenance
How should I clean and care for my yoga mat?
Proper care extends the life of your yoga mat. Most mats can be wiped down after each use with a gentle, natural mat cleaner or a mixture of water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can break down the material. Allow your mat to air dry completely before rolling it up. For deeper cleaning, follow the specific care instructions provided with your mat.
How do I wash my yoga bolster?
Many of our bolsters feature removable, machine-washable covers. Simply unzip the cover, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. The inner filling should be spot-cleaned only and allowed to air out periodically to maintain freshness.
How do I clean cork yoga blocks?
Cork blocks can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking cork blocks, as excess moisture can damage the material. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.

How durable are your yoga products?
Our products are crafted with durability in mind, using high-quality materials that withstand regular use. From high-density foam blocks to sturdy cork and wood props, each item is designed to support you through countless practices. Our apparel is constructed to maintain its shape, color, and performance through repeated wear and washing.
