5 Quebec yoga accessories to discover

Even if the yoga studios are currently closed, this is not a reason to stop practicing. For me, yoga is precious, especially in times that are a little more difficult or emotionally charged. I am offering you today 5 Quebec yoga accessories to accompany your practice and make it a ritual of well-being in the comfort of your home.

Eco-responsible clothing

Nothing is more important than comfortable clothes for a yoga session. The Quebec brand Rose Buddha offers yoga pants made from recycled materials or natural and organic fibers. Indeed, the ecolight fabric is made from recycled polyester (80% made from plastic bottles) and natural fibers such as Tencel, wool, cotton and organic bamboo. The dye is water-based and the prints are made by sublimation, that is to say without solvents and without chemicals. Everything is local, made entirely in Quebec and with a production chain that respects nature.

Rose Buddha also offers organic cotton tank tops and sweaters, jewelry, bags and headbands. They also have some models for children. You will find something for everyone.

Natural wax candle

To create a relaxing atmosphere for your evening yoga session, nothing better than essential oil candles. MEG candles offers a selection of ecological and artisanal candles, handmade from soy wax and essential oils or artificial fragrances. The soy wax is vegan and non-GMO and the essential oils are 100% pure and natural. You will find various smells such as lavender, grapefruit, bubblegum or cotton candy.

If you want to immerse yourself in the holiday atmosphere, opt for the Christmas Tree candle. With bright colors of red and green, this candle has a smell of fir. It is made from natural soy wax and contains phthalate-free fragrance oil, good for the environment, as well as for you and your family. Several other scents are available, including meditation, lilac and French vanilla.

meditation cushion

Sitting is very important in yoga. The hips should be higher than the knees to allow you to maintain a long back. A block or a meditation cushion could therefore be useful to you. Amma therapy offers you a portable meditation/yoga cushion made of buckwheat hulls. Small and light, it can be transported well everywhere.

The company also offers various yoga accessories such as bolsters and lavender eye rests . The eye rest is made of organic pearl barley with a hint of dried lavender. It is ideal for the final savasana posture. Its sweet smell of lavender facilitates the relaxation of the nervous system.

Tisane

Nothing better than a comforting infusion after a practice to contemplate and feel the benefits of yoga. In the morning, you can opt for a slightly stimulating infusion and in the evening, go for something calming, even a little sedative to prepare you for sleep.

The Gourmet Sauvage company offers blends of plants found in our Quebec forests, including sleeping wood herbal tea : a blend of plants that promote sleep. Let yourself be intoxicated by its comforting scent.

Draw cards

To end your practice, I invite you to have a positive thought or intention for the rest of the day or for the night. If you lack inspiration, let yourself be inspired by a set of draw cards. Among the options available, you will find a series of cards to encourage positive actions by Motivop , gratitude as well as positive quotes on success.
