Let Mom Discover Mindfulness in a Whole New Way With Hugger Mugger Yoga Essentials

Focusing on self-care and wellness is more important today than ever to help us achieve mindfulness and a state of calmness. Hugger Mugger couldn't agree more.

Hugger Mugger and its sister brand, Yoga Design Lab, makers of best-selling, eco-friendly yoga and meditation products, take us to a new level of self-care with their unique and innovative features. These brands are an ideal gift source for Earth Day celebrations, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and International Day of Yoga Day (June 21).

Yoga is a growing activity in the U.S. and empowers us to take control of our well-being. For example, 80% of those practicing say they do so to improve their health, and around 30% use it to treat and manage pain. The need is there, and Hugger Mugger products have answered the call since 1986 with colorful choices that uplift our mood for peaceful and enjoyable sessions. Their mats are crafted for a safe and mindful practice, free from heavy metals and phthalates for a healthier, eco-friendly experience.

Below, I’ve highlighted the essentials for seasoned yogis and those just getting started. Feel free to request a sample for relevant stories and gift guides. The brand is on Amazon, Nordstrom, Free People, Faire and coming soon to Dick's Sporting Goods.  

• Standard Bolster ($97.95+): The Standard Yoga Bolster is a great size to start with if you are new to yoga bolsters. This multi-purpose bolster has a rectangular shape with a flat top and bottom for stability. A favorite for supporting the torso in reclining poses, twists, Child’s Pose, seated forward bends, and more. It can be used to elevate the hips in seated poses, Pigeon Pose, and Bridge Pose, and as a cushion in seated poses. 

• Zafu Cushion ($68.95+): The round Zafu meditation cushion provides height under your pelvis for healthy posture. It is filled with organic buckwheat hulls that form to your contours, is covered with sturdy, beautiful, long-lasting upholstery-grade fabric, and includes a convenient carrying handle.

• Round Bolster ($68.57+): For almost 30 years, Hugger Mugger bolsters have set the industry standard in performance and quality. They combine just the right amount of inner strength and stability with a comfy, soft surface that will give you years of unsurpassed service. The Round Yoga Bolster is a great size to place under your knees in Savasana, across your lap in a Seated Forward Bend, or for support in backbending practice. 

• Para Rubber Mat ($104.95): Are you slipping in Downward Dog, or do your knees hurt in Cat-Cow? Look no further than our teacher favorite, the Para Rubber Mat! Made with natural rubber, this eco-friendly mat features two different dry-grip textures. The striated side is covered in tiny rubber bumps that hold you perfectly in place, while the solid-colored side has a woven-like, rubbery super-grip that’s great for hot yoga. A key feature of the Para Rubber Yoga Mat is its dense rubber cushioning. With a 5mm thickness, this mat is stable and sturdy, and feels amazing under sensitive knees and wrists. It is available in regular and XL size to provide a perfect option for every practice.

• 4in Yoga Block ($20.94): This 4 inch Foam Yoga Block helps you find alignment and feels great to the touch. They are well-loved by the yoga community for their size, durability, and comfort. These lightweight but firm props provide reliable support under your hands, feet, torso, or head.
