What is a yoga blanket?

Yoga blankets are a simple yet effective tool used during yoga practices. They are slightly thicker than regular blankets, and their purpose in yoga is to provide warmth during specific poses for relaxation such as the Savasana pose (corpse pose), provide extra support during more advanced poses which your body might not be completely ready for, and also to give some cushioning for your hands, feet, knees, and elbows throughout the practice.

For more info on how to use a yoga blanket, read through to the bottom where we give a few more details.

Price: £40.79

Wherever possible their products are created using the most sustainable materials, and they now have a zero-waste programme with The Renewal Workshop. This programme allows you to send them back your old Manduka yoga mat to be recycled into materials that will be used to help communities everywhere.

In keeping with this philosophy of sustainability, this Manduka recycled wool yoga blanket is made from 100% recycled wool and synthetic fibres. This results in a material that molds to your body, as well as providing warmth. This fabric is also made from a very dense weave, which makes it stretch-resistant, so you know it will keep its shape over time. 

As well as being soft on the skin, this yoga wool blanket is very sturdy. This makes it amazing for rolling up and using as a support for yoga poses like shoulder stands; or as a substitute for a bolster, which is a firm cylindrical cushion used in yoga for support. 

The dimensions of this blanket are 208cm by 152cm, which is definitely on the larger end of the scale. This is great because it offers you a lot of versatility in terms of how you use it during your yoga practice. What’s more, these wool yoga blankets weigh around 1.6kg, which is very heavy for a blanket. This is fantastic if you want to use it as a weighted blanket during relaxation yoga practices to relieve stress or anxiety. However, this can be a little heavy to pack into a bag.

The style of these yoga wool blankets is extremely simple and earthy, definitely fitting in with Manduka’s focus on sustainability. The blanket only comes in one colour: ‘sediment’, which is a muted grey/green colour. Overall, this yoga blanket is not for you if you are looking for something fun and vibrant, but if you enjoy muted earth tones and a quality weighted blanket, it is perfect.

What are yoga blankets used for?

There are a few main purposes for yoga blankets, but they’re a versatile item that can easily be incorporated into anyone’s home and yogi kit, along with other important items like yoga towels. One of the most important purposes is to provide warmth to the yogi. This is really important as it's going to be really hard to properly relax if you're shivering from cold! Yoga blankets are especially useful during poses like the Savasana pose as your whole body is laid on the floor. 

Another important use is to provide some support during some of the more difficult poses, such as the child’s pose. They allow for much gentler yoga practice, helping to build flexibility slowly and at a comfortable pace for your body.

Conversely, not all yoga blankets are used for yoga. The style and designs often mean they make great accentuating pieces for your home! Throw one over your favourite chair for some added cosiness and colour. Another way to use yoga relaxation blankets is just as a blanket - wrap one around you and settle in with your favourite film and a hot chocolate for ultimate comfort.#

How to use a yoga blanket

Following the few different purposes of yoga blankets, we’re going to provide a few specific ways to use these blankets (for yoga only).

• Savasana - this is considered the best pose for healing after yoga, and you can use a yoga blanket to cover yourself during this pose to provide warmth or a comforting weight (to ease anxiety). You can also fold the blanket up to use as a pillow during this pose, or to elevate your torso for increased relaxation.
• Fallen Tree Pose - This a lying down version of the standard tree pose. Fold up your yoga blanket and place this under your right knee to ease some of the stress on your leg (your knee doesn’t have the cushioning of your thigh in this outstretched, bent position). The added height means less of a stretch, helping to build your flexibility comfortably.
• Sukhasana - sitting on a square folded yoga blanket in the simple crossed legged pose is a great way to elevate your body and start your meditation with a straight back, allowing for deep breathing and improved posture.
• Anjaneyasana (crescent moon pose) - folding the yoga blanket once or twice and placing it under your knee will help cushion your body and make the pose more comfortable.

These are just a few examples of how to incorporate a yoga relaxation blanket into your routine: with such a versatile tool, these blankets can be utilised in a huge amount of standard yoga poses to aid flexibility and relaxation.

Where to buy yoga blankets

Yoga is a huge and modern practice with hundreds of companies selling yoga equipment. You can easily buy online from a number of retailers, including Amazon, and some local sports shops will also sell cheap yoga blankets.

How to choose a yoga blanket

This is down to personal preference, but there are a few key features to look out for.

The material is important; yoga blankets made from cotton materials are great for their versatility,  and being thinner means they’re easier to fold and often lighter to carry. Plus, the cotton helps them to retain their shape.

Wool yoga blankets are a thicker option, and often more sustainable, better for those looking more for warmth and who aren’t too bothered about carrying them around. Some do come in a blend of materials which can provide cheap yoga blankets that are often more durable as well.

The yoga blanket size is also important; if you like a lot of space to move around, or want high elevation after folding, then go for a larger blanket. There are also a few different styles, including traditional Mexican yoga blankets which are often more colourful and handmade, and Indian cotton yoga blankets which aren’t as bright but are often hand-loomed.

Before you go!

You'll now be prepared to perform the supine twist and the adho mukha svanasana (downward facing dog), or you’re looking at your couch and hot chocolate mug longingly, we know the best yoga blanket for you is on this list. 

Remember, you can take your first steps into the industry by completing a Level 3 Yoga Teaching qualification. More information about this course and how it can benefit your career can be found in our latest course prospectus.
