Two days before I was introduced to the yoga pillow, I mentioned needing a less cumbersome way for my clients to access Viparita Karani than using a blanket over a block or even a bolster when there is no wall. The yoga pillow is the perfect addition to my arsenal of tools for expanding my clients' and my own practice.
Store owner replied: Thank so much for your kind words! We love our community and glad we could help you turn a hard block into a mini bolster.
TLDR: The Yoga Pillow transformed a good yin session into a deeply restful, restorative one. If you want to enhance comfort, allow your body to soften more deeply, and make long-held poses genuinely nourishing, this pillow is a game changer! I recently tried The Yoga Pillow in a warm yin class using two pillows on cork blocks and one pillow on its own, and it absolutely leveled up my comfort and deepened my practice. The extra cushion and support felt like a soft hug under my body, allowing me to fully surrender into long-held yin poses without the usual pressure on my hips and joints. In poses where I was seated or folded forward, the pillow softened the floor, gently lifting and supporting me so that I could relax instead of bracing, which let me breathe deeper and stay present rather than distracted by discomfort. What really stood out was how versatile it is. Whether used directly on the mat or layered over blocks, it provided stable, yet gentle support in a way that felt more cushioned than a standard block alone. After class, I felt more relaxed, my hips felt released, and I was able to stay in poses longer than I usually would have.
The yoga pillow is really easy to attach to a yoga block and makes the use of a Yoga block as versatile prop so much more comfortable and replaces the need for a bolster.
I have the original blue yoga pillow and now the black sand, waterproof model. This is perfect for outdoor use. It stayed clean and dry and if it does get dirty, it wipes off easily. It makes using hard, cork blocks more comfortable and it makes for an easily portable bolster to practice with. Great product!
The yoga pillow is the perfect complement for any type of physical practice. I strongly recommend it!
I love this! I can use it on the block for back ending or by itself under my knees. What a great idea!
Absolutely in love with the yoga pillow products! I had the original version already in blue lagoon and LOVED IT so when I saw the new waterproof sand collection I knew immediately it would fit into my outdoor yoga practice wonderfully, and it already has! It fits easily onto all of my yoga blocks, even my slightly oversized cork block! It has turned my clunky uncomfortable cork block into a truly usable addition to my yoga and meditation practice alike. The fact that it can be removed and used at a much shorter height (small bolster) makes it super versatile for whatever you need it to do at that moment. 10 out of 10 I would DEFINITELY recommend :)
I absolutely love my Yoga Pillow. It’s a wonderful prop to help me get into poses. It’s offers the right amount of support for my knees, my bum and my head. I’m sure I will find more uses as time goes on.
Absolutely loving this product!! What a fabulous idea to make blocks more accessible for certain poses/practices. Really love the deep blue color I chose. The fabric is also durable enough for this outdoor yogi which is huge!! I first tried this yoga pillow cushion on a more petite block (in pictures) but I'm super stoked that it also fits on my slightly larger block. I would definitely recommend this product to family and friends alike.
Great to sit on while meditating!
I am really grateful for my yoga pillow, I injured my knee and would not have been able to take yoga classes without it! Is easy to transport, and so dang cute!
As a mobility specialist, my yoga practice revolves around enhancing functional movement patterns and flexibility, and the Yoga Pillow has become an absolute game-changer in my routine. This innovative cushion seamlessly integrates into my Steel Mace Vinyasa practice, providing unparalleled support and comfort. The portability of the Yoga Pillow is a standout feature for me. It's compact enough to easily fit with everything I generally bring to the studio, making it an essential companion for yogis on the move. I've found it to be the perfect cushion attachment for my yoga block, elevating my practice by offering a soft landing for challenging poses. One of the standout benefits is its versatility in supporting various yoga postures. The cushion not only alleviates pressure on my knees during heart and hip openers but also transforms into a cozy pad for my meditations. The ease of installation and cleaning adds to its appeal, making it a hassle-free addition to my daily practice. What sets the Yoga Pillow apart is its role as a multi-functional accessory. Beyond its primary use in yoga, it doubles as a small bolster, a meditation cushion, and even serves as a convenient pillow during travel – whether on a flight or camping under the stars. This level of versatility aligns perfectly with my commitment to enhancing mobility and comfort in every aspect of my practice. I've tried numerous yoga props over the years, but the Yoga Pillow has truly earned its spot as a must-have in my arsenal. It's not just a cushion; it's a companion that enhances my practice, fosters comfort, and seamlessly fits into my on-the-go lifestyle. If you're serious about elevating your yoga experience, this is the prop you've been waiting for. Join me in embracing the Yoga Pillow – your body will thank you!
The Yoga Pillow is a very welcome addition to my yoga mat! It provides such a cozy cushion atop two yoga blocks during my morning meditations. Also works well as a pad to relieve pressure on my knees, for what used to be uncomfortable poses. Simple to install, easy to keep clean, and compact to travel with. What a great little yoga prop, will continue to use it daily! - Sean S.
I absolutely love my Yoga Pillow set. Thank you! They totally invite me to slow all the way down. They’re beautiful, yes, but more than that, they feel grounding, supportive, & genuinely comforting to use. I don't feel like I have to “perform” & they make me feel more like a place I can actually soften into. These pieces can live so naturally in my home — for yoga, stretching, meditation, sitting on the floor, or just giving my body a little more support at the end of a tough day. You can tell this was created by someone who deeply understands that our bodies deserve compassion, not punishment or pushing. I’m so grateful to have them in my home & wholeheartedly recommend The Yoga Pillow to everyone who has a practice. ❤️
I love using it in my yoga studio. Today we had a yin session, and one of my elderly students needed something soft to rest her hands on while we did the supine spine twist. I like the fact that it’s firm and yet soft.. it has the best of a yoga block and a pillow!
Amazing!!!!
I have particularly enjoyed using the pillows for opening my thoracic spine up. Improves the comfort of just using a plain block plus gives a bit more depth. Looking forward to exploring more uses of the yoga pillow!
We have the pillows for our yoga classes. They are like mini bolsters when you use them on the blocks. The students love them! Very supportive and durable for various yoga poses.
I’ve been using the Yoga pillow since first came out and it has found It’s way into so many of my yoga practices. Restore, Yin, meditation and at the end of a flow. The pillow itself is easy to travel with, I’ve used it on the airplane, as a cushion while I’m driving in the car. It has been a great compliment to my practice and just helps me to love my Yoga blocks even more due to that beautiful soft cushioning on top. Highly recommend!
I adore my Yoga Pillos - my knees and hips are happy and my practice feels more supported. I love how portable they are! 1000% recommend as a yoga prop. ❤️
Love the ease of use under my knee during low lunges, a soft seat and even under my head or forehead during extended pigeon pose! I also appreciate the design shape fits on any standard yoga block. Convenience in separating the cushion for cleaning and cotton material is an A+ product for me. Thank you!
This fits perfectly over my block and is great for seated meditation, for using forearms in various asanas. It provides stability and comfort. So lovely!
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your purchase and kind words! Glad you are enjoying your yoga pillows. <3 With gratitude, Lochana
The Sand Collection - Lite (Pink) is exactly what I needed as my final prop collection in my new studio! Had prompt fulfillment/shipping too!
Store owner replied: Hi Sandi! Lochana here. That's so wonderful! I'm so glad you and your students are enjoying The Yoga Pillow Lites in your studio. Thank you so much for your support!
Love it! It’s super convenient for bringing wth me. And it works great!
Store owner replied: Hi Tamika! Lochana here. Thank you so much for your support! I'm so glad you're enjoying The Yoga Pillow Lites at the Sedona Yoga Festival this year.
My favorite way to use the Yoga Pillow is as a meditation cushion. It's got a great height, is comfortable, and easy to travel with.
Store owner replied: Hi Heather! Lochana here! We love hearing that! Fun fact, the yoga pillows were first invented to better facilitate a meditation practice pre and post yoga session. We are now seeing some great uses in the yoga therapeutics and physical therapy spaces as well. Thank you so much for your support!
What a cool invention! Thank you so much for sending it is so comfy!
Store owner replied: Hi Toni! Lochana here! I'm so glad you're liking your yoga pillow. Looking forward to connecting more. =)
Using the yoga pillow allowed me to stay in poses longer and more comfortably because I wasn't thinking about the pain from the block! I'm excited to add these to my practice.
Store owner replied: Hi there! Lochana here! Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so glad you're enjoying your yoga pillow.
It wasn't anything impressive.
Store owner replied: Hi Martha, Lochana here. Thank you for your feedback. Could you please share more details? We are dedicated to listening to feedback and improving our products. If you have not done so, we recommend using the yoga pillow for more restorative or yin style poses where longer holds are needed. Additionally, the yoga pillow is basically a compact mini bolster, so it functions well if you're ever traveling and on the go.
It was not snug around the block and made the block unstable.
Store owner replied: Hi Franni, Lochana here. Thanks for the feedback. The purpose of the yoga pillow attached to the yoga block is to convert them into a mini yoga bolster. So, we recommend using them for more longer held poses used in more restorative and yin style yoga sequences. I'd love to connect and see how you are attaching the yoga pillow to your yoga block or what style yoga blocks you're using. Each yoga pillow goes through extensive testing, and we make sure each one fits on standard sized rectangular yoga blocks.
I had ordered a set for myself and decided to order a set for my 2 online students for Christmas. They love them! They find using them more comfortable than just the foam blocks. I ordered myself the Lite to pack in my bag for when I travel to festivals.
Store owner replied: Wow! Thank you so much for your support! We love hearing how the yoga pillow is transforming practices so thank you for sharing.
The yoga pillow adds versatility, transforming a simple yoga block into a hygienic, supportive pillow as well as a tool for strength training and both static and dynamic balance exercises.
Such a pretty color, this yoga pillow added just the right amount of padding under my knees and head during my practice!
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing! Grateful to have you in our community.
As a physical therapist, I use this product frequently in my clinic for release techniques and exercises. It makes it really easy to provide comfort and stability.
Store owner replied: Lochana here, thanks for the review! We love hearing how the yoga pillow can be applied in therapeutic settings as well. Kindness for our body can often start with the right support.
I have not used it yet but I’m excited to take it with me to my next yoga class.
Store owner replied: Hi Melissa - Lochana here, I was just curious if you had a chance to try it out yet. I'm dying to know what you think! =)
I have been using the yoga pillow weekly for my yin practice before bed time. It really helps me relax and get more comfortable stretching with my poses. I am a physical therapist with a history of back injuries. The yoga pillow has really helped me with my rehabilitation process!
Store owner replied: The yoga pillow is a wonderful addition to a yin yoga practice. I'm so honored that it has made a difference in your practice. Thank you for sharing!
As a physical therapist who used The Yoga Pillow during pregnancy, I found this product to be a highly effective and versatile support tool for prenatal exercise and positioning. During pregnancy, proper support and alignment are essential for comfort, safety, and symptom management, and this pillow performs exceptionally well in all three areas. Now, I regularly recommend it for prenatal yoga, gentle mobility work, breathing exercises, and floor-based strengthening. The pillow provides appropriate elevation and cushioning to support the pelvis, lumbar spine, knees, and abdomen, helping reduce joint strain and pressure while maintaining neutral alignment. It is especially useful in seated positions, side-lying exercises, and modified stretches, where sustained comfort is critical. The pillow feels high-quality, soft, and supportive, and the design is simple and calming. I also appreciate how lightweight and easy it is to reposition as I moved through different exercises. It is a must-have not just for workouts, but also for relaxation and meditation during pregnancy. The firmness strikes a good balance between stability and comfort, allowing one to feel supported without excessive sinking. Its lightweight design makes it easy to reposition as exercises change, which is important for maintaining proper mechanics throughout a session. Overall, this is a well-designed, high-quality prop that supports safe movement and comfort during pregnancy. I would confidently recommend this yoga pillow to patients seeking additional support for prenatal exercise, as well as to instructors and clinicians working in prenatal fitness or rehabilitation settings.
Store owner replied: Wow! We love hearing all the unqiue ways of using the yoga pillow. An on-the-go prenatal yoga pillow sounds like a wonderful way to add some softness to mother's hectic day. =) Thank you so much for sharing!
My waterproof yoga pillow has been perfect for me as I'm someone who sweats a crazy amount. It's been a staple in my hot yoga classes and the sauna for almost a year now and you can hardly tell it's been used. The material cleans very well and has held up in the heat perfectly.
Store owner replied: Oops! Not sure what happened but it looks like you got our Black Sand yoga pillow instead of Black Caviar. But thank you for your response! We're so glad you're enjoying the Yoga Pillow!
So far I have just used under my knees and bum for floor exercises, very comfortable and makes it more bearable. I will incorporate both pillow and block into my yoga practice. Highly recommend.
Store owner replied: Thanks for the review! We're so glad it's coming in handy on its own as well.
I really like the Yoga pillow, It stays secure and is really helpful when needing extra support.
Store owner replied: Thank you! Appreciate your kind words!
