Bennd Yoga

Bennd Yoga makes hand-loomed Ayurvedic yoga props -- mats, blocks, bolsters, pranayama pillows, and meditation pillows -- built from 100% ethically sourced raw cotton, medicinally dyed with natural plant-based dyes, and infused with the brand's exclusive formula of 22 different Ayurvedic herbs and medicines. The product line is positioned at the intersection of traditional Ayurvedic medicine and contemporary yoga practice: every piece carries the herbal infusion through the dye and the buckwheat hull + lavender fill on the cushioned items, with the brand framing each dye choice through chakra resonance and traditional Ayurvedic benefit profiles.

The dye palette is organized by herb. Indigo is the brand's signature -- per the vendor: supports a healthy immune system, supports the lymphatic system, combats infections like the cold and flu, antiseptic; resonates with the Third Eye Chakra (strengthening intuition, imagination, dream activity). Sappan Wood activates blood circulation, antioxidant, anti-bacterial; resonates with the Crown Chakra (consciousness, thoughts, wisdom, awareness). Madder Root supports reproductive health, blood purifier, lymphatic detox, anti-inflammatory. Harda is a potent digestive herb (per the vendor: anti-inflammatory, supports memory retention and focus, lowers blood sugar levels). Each item carries the full 22-herb infusion regardless of the primary dye choice.

The yoga mat line (27" x 78") features organic cotton hand-loomed bodies brushed with natural rubber latex on the underside for floor grip -- the Checkmate flat-weave mat (the newest, in a checkered pattern), the Madder Root + Sappan Wood Ayurvedic mat (the reimagined classic), and the Single Harda Ayurvedic mat. Each mat ships with a travel bag and 2 oz of all-natural powdered soap nut for cleaning. The mats are naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial, so per the vendor: wash 1x a month or less depending on practice intensity. Direct sunlight and commercial detergents will weaken the product integrity.

Per the vendor: every Bennd product is "perfectly imperfect" -- due to the handmade nature, no two items are alike; sizes and colors may vary; slight imperfections may be found. Each cushioned item (block, pillow, bolster) can be customized with up to 3 handwritten intentions on paper made from recycled yoga mat fibers, placed inside the fill.
