Yoga equipment

When we travel to India each winter, we are not only running our yoga retreats but my favourite time is to go and meet the yogamalai team who make our products in India. Seeing our products being made and the opportunities we are giving many families is just delightful. Ahh it’s all in the principles of yoga - And just as the word can be translated into English as "joining", "uniting", "union", we feel overwhelmed and  lucky to be united with real people instead of factories, who we can visit and see the real differences the work makes to their lives ...

Next time you’re on your yoga mat, let your inner child come out to play. Treat your yoga mat like your playground and even be bold enough to step out of the box or rectangle and be free to create a new game. Children as inspirational teachers I do not spend a lot of time around small children in my daily life. It’s not something I have consciously chosen for myself and something I notice that is missing when I DO spend time with children. When I am in India with my family who have small children or on the beach watching ...

Do you have trouble relaxing? Our brains are so wired to ‘do, do, do’, it can be really difficult to ‘simply be’ for a while. For busy people, the concept of ‘doing nothing’ can feel pointless, uncomfortable and even empty. And stressing about relaxing can make things worse with all the trying, the self-talk about lack and should I. Lying down and doing nothing for a while, giving your body that much needed down time, is something that everyone can benefit from in today's busy, chaotic schedule. Scientific studies have proved that people who relax and play live longer, blood pressure ...

  When you know someone who loves yoga, then the festive season is a great time to treat them to something they will love and use. But it can be difficult to choose if you are not really a yoga lover yourself. So much to choose from and will they use it?

We have a great range of gifts that we are sure someone would love to open no matter what kind of Yoga they are into. We have created this simple gift guide to ...

Our central heating makes me feel like I'm a tomato being sun-dried in a slow oven overnight so I'm really conscious of my water intake and keep an eau bottle with me at all times! It's a filter water bottle that uses a traditional Japanese binchotan charcoal to make your tap water taste great, you can fill it up at any water tap which means you can go to the bathroom to fill up your bottle and it filters on the go! We've just re-stocked them because we missed them so much. I'm always turning it off and opening windows round the house and ...

Is yoga a way of life? Does that mean that we have to do yoga all the time, have a yoga mat in every room in case we have a spare 10 minutes to do another round of sun salutations, chant the mantra OM or use a yoga belt to open the hips a little bit further? No, thank goodness, yoga is not purely a physical practice. In fact, yoga asana (poses) are purely a way to strengthen the body, make the muscles flexible, and concentrate the mind so that sitting can be maintained for long periods of time for meditation. So ...

Image by Photographic Blonde How do different colours make you feel? What happens when you see a rainbow? Use a strap in your asana practice to support your body on the mat. Ask your yoga teacher how you can use a belt to avoid stretching beyond your natural range of movement. Treat yourself to a rainbow every day. Shop HERE Now that the autumn leaves are brown on the ground, the ice covers nature with a silver sheen, the clouds hide the sun and shroud the sky in grey, our clothes are bled of colour as we lean towards neutrals, and yoga outfits go ...

I had travelled through india a few times before but never taught yoga there ..... I have always loved Kerala, the laid back beaches, the food, the people ..... So when Yoga United Holidays asked me to come and teach I couldn't wait! The resort is special - perfect little villas, a great space for teaching and the staff are so welcoming. Yoga United have a great relationship with the resort and staff so we are extremely well looked after, almost family! Many students came this year for the first time, learning about the culture of India as well as diving ...

Supported by props Are you holding yourself together? Have you tried support of the ground and some props? If you are practicing yin yoga, restorative yoga, pregnancy yoga, yoga nidra...any yoga where the emphasis is on support and self-care, why not get cosy with Yoga United bolsters to hold every part of you so you don't have to hold yourself together. ahhh, a big sigh of relief is what I notice when I use my props to support my tired body and frazzled mind. Large, medium and mini - not only three sizes but a rainbow of different colours - are you ...
