Namaste Embroidered Lavender Eye Pillow

For the yogi who loves their practice

Namaste is the word that closes every yoga class. This is the organic lavender eye pillow made for savasana, for the mat and for the moment after.

Handmade in Norfolk, embroidered with “Namaste” in a signature script, and made from pure flax linen. It also makes a lovely gift for a yoga teacher or a studio.

“The lavender eye bag smells incredible, actually helps me to sleep as well as focus during yoga sessions.” Verified buyer

Lay it over your eyes at the end of practice. The organic Grade 1 lavender comes from an A.O.C.-accredited farm in Provence, 1,300 metres above sea level, which makes the scent sweeter, and lavender has been studied for its calming effect. The flaxseed gives a gentle weight and shuts out the light. Pressure on the eyes can slow the heart rate through the vagus nerve, the nerve that helps the body rest. Scientists call it the “oculocardiac reflex”. Science has yet to verify this effect on these flaxseed pillows (!), but the makers call it the best five minutes of their practice. Warm it for restorative yoga, or chill it to refresh in warm weather.

Every eye pillow arrives beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, with a care card.
