Find the perfect yoga blanket: your refuge in each posture
What is a yoga blanket?
A yoga blanket is an accessory that will make a significant difference in your practice. Beyond offering comfort in postures such as savasana or during meditation, it brings stability and support, allowing you to go deeper into some postures in complete safety and comfort.
You can use the blanket folded, rolled or extended, allowing the body to adapt and helping to protect joints and promote proper alignment.
Enrich your yoga practice by optimizing each yoga pose using props such as a blanket, blocks or belt.

How to choose the perfect yoga blanket for your practice
For the right choice of a blanket for your yoga practice it is essential to consider the following characteristics:
Size of your yoga blanket.
A 150x200cm yoga blanket is ideal for your yoga practice. It allows you to use it both extended and folded, providing a stable support in the postures where you need to use a blanket or covering the body completely in resting postures such as final relaxation.
Material: cotton, wool, microfiber... Which one to choose?
The choice of blanket material will depend on your personal preferences and whether you practice outdoors or in a studio or shala.
All our blankets are made of sustainable materials such as cotton or wool from recycled or organic sources. Both materials are soft and ideal for those looking for a natural feel against the skin. In addition, they provide warmth, which makes them perfect allies for meditation and deep relaxation.
Thickness: Thicker or thinner?
The thickness of the blanket defines the amount of support in each posture.
Thicker blankets are excellent for support in balancing postures and for keeping the body comfortable in contact with the ground in prolonged postures.
Thinner blankets are a good choice for those looking for lightness and flexibility, without compromising support.
At Blankets Of The World you will find blankets of different thicknesses so you can choose the one that best suits your practice.
Design: find the blanket that reflects your personality
The design of your blanket matters, too. A design that appeals to you not only elevates your yoga space, but also helps you feel more comfortable and connect more deeply with your practice.
In our store you will find blankets of all styles, whether you prefer an ethnic blanket with vibrant patterns or one in neutral tones that bring calm to your practice, we're sure you'll find your favorite in our extensive catalog!
What are the benefits of a yoga blanket?
The use of a yoga blanket during your yoga practice brings numerous physical and emotional benefits regardless of the style of yoga you practice (iyengar, kundalini, hatha, ashanga, etc).
Comfort and Support
The right blanket allows the body to rest comfortably, offering additional support to protect your joints and reduce stress in areas that require special support, such as the knees, elbows and lower back.
Alignment and Relaxation
Using a blanket will improve your alignment during your yoga practice in more physically demanding postures, allowing you to stay balanced and centered.
It is also ideal for a deep sense of relaxation, especially in rest and meditation postures and during Savasana, where you can cover yourself to maintain a comfortable temperature and encourage full relaxation.
Types of yoga blankets: find yours according to your practice
Depending on your level of practice and the needs you are looking to cover, there are different types of blankets to suit every situation.
Firm blankets
Firm blankets are designed to help support postures and alignment, facilitating a practice that is both rigorous and beneficial for posture and balance.
Meditation blankets
Meditation blankets are soft and warm, offering the comfort needed for prolonged meditation sessions or restorative practices. Cotton and wool yoga blankets are ideal for this type of practice, providing warmth without being too heavy.
Eco-friendly blankets
A recycled blanket is perfect if you care about sustainability. These blankets are environmentally friendly, as they are made from eco-friendly materials and offer softness, quality and durability with every use.
How to incorporate a yoga blanket into your daily practice
Incorporating a blanket into your daily yoga practice can enrich your sessions and facilitate some postures by helping you maintain alignment and balance:
- Place the blanket under your knees or other joints to protect them by resting them for a while on the floor.
- Place the blanket under your back and shoulders for inverted postures such as inverted shoulder stand (salamaba sarvangasana).
- Place your head on the blanket for inverted headstand (sirsanasana).
- Roll up the blanket and lie on it to offer support in chest-opening postures,.
You can also use it as a base for your restorative yoga practices or simply use it as a picnic blanket to meditate in a natural setting.
Care and maintenance: prolong the life of your blanket
To keep your blanket in perfect condition, follow these simple care tips. If you have a cotton blanket or wool blanket, be sure to wash it by hand or on a gentle cycle in cold water. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents to prolong the life of the blanket and to protect its natural fibers.
Always airdry your blanket and avoid direct exposure to the sun, as this may fade the colors.
By following these basic cares, your blanket will remain in good condition and you will be able to enjoy its comfort in your yoga classes for years to come.
