organic french lavender eye pillows
Vicky recommends the use of a lavender eye mask in her classes. Clothes designer Naomi Purkiss produces beautiful hand made lavender eye masks and yoga mat bags in stunning fabrics exclusively for whYoga. Perfect for relaxation or supine positions. Pratyahara is the fifth limb of Yoga and means withdrawal of the senses. Covering the eyes allows for partial withdrawal of the senses allowing the eyes to stop living off the things that stimulate them. Consequently one can better harness the mind and focus more fully on the interior world. These masks are filled with a mixture of fresh French lavender and lavender oil-infused rice, the ratio of the filling is 40-60 (60% infused rice to give a good weight on the eyes). They look wonderful too so they make great presents as they can be used at home as well on the mat.
NEW Seasonal lavender eye pillows, a perfect gift for a man, a woman or a child. These very special lavender eye masks are hand made from exquisite kimono silk or vintage fabrics, sumptuously beautiful.

This bag hints of wabi sabi with its free shape and highly original opening. It can be worn over the shoulder or on the back. All bags are hand made and finished to a high standard. Bags can be made to fit any size of yoga mat. They make great presents and can be bought with your choice of colourful yoga mat.

We (my school) have purchased 10 funky lavender eye pillows made in fab funky kid's fabrics by Vicky’s friend Naomi Purkiss. They are amazing and beautifully made. I can’t recommend them highly enough. As a primary art teacher I am now using these pillows for relaxation at the end of my art classes and yoga classes. Children know what they need and that is relaxation! Infants and juniors are really enjoying using these pillows. My teacher colleagues also want to follow suit and use the pillows in their regular classes so I can see we are going to be ordering more! Thank you so much Vicky and Naomi for your inspiration.
