YogiPod Eye Pillow

Deepen your relaxation with a linseed filled eye pillow. Made from fabric hand block printed in Jaipur and left unscented because scent is such a personal part of rest.

Designed to help you relax by blocking out the light and tuning your body into your rest and digest state, YogiPod eye pillows are available in a range of hand printed patterns  

Placed over the eyes in savasana or during restorative yoga they really are a beautiful addition to your practice.

Eye pillows, something you never knew you needed until you found yourself with one. Eye pillows are not just for Savasana, here are some other ways you can use them:

Adding some weight to the hands in savasana: Eye pillows are not just great over the eyes in savasana to give that calming weight. They are also great laid in the palms of your hands. This helps the hands to really relax and to not fidget.

Achy wrists from working from home? Use as a wrist support: Lets be honest working from home is great from the fact you can roll straight from sofa to computer BUT we’re probably not set up quite as well as in the office. One of things I always find aching at the end of a day of emails is my wrist which is were fashioning a makeshift wrist support comes in! Fold an eye pillow in half and hey presto, supported and non achy wrists.

Heat up and use to soothe a tired achy neck: Did you know you can heat up an eye pillow to use as a soothing heat pack? As with heating any item up please do this carefully and test the heat with your hand before placing over the eyes or onto the neck.

If you have the time a lovely way to heat the eye pillow up is just to pop it onto the radiator. If time isn’t on your side then the microwave can help. Heat up in cycles of 10 seconds for no more than 30 seconds in total and you should get a warm eye pillow, perfect to place onto the aching parts of your body. My favourite is to place either on my lower back or on the back

Let it help you sleep: Using an eye pillow in bed over the eyes can be a lovely way to relax, just like in savasana but it can also be a great way to get scent into your bedroom. Pop a couple of drops of your favourite sleepy essential oil onto the cover and place on your pillow next to you.
