Makena - Yoga Bolster Pillow with Organic Buckwheat Filling

Handmade yoga bolster with organic buckwheat filling — made in Madagascar

Named after the Swahili word for “the happy one,” the Makena bolster is handcrafted in Madagascar and designed to bring ease, support, and a little joy to your yoga practice. Featured in Om Yoga Magazine (Yoga Mats Special Report — Cool Club).

The curved shape is ideal for restorative poses, yin yoga, and meditation — providing gentle lift under the spine, hips, or knees to help the body fully release into each posture. Whether you’re holding a supported fish, a reclined butterfly, or simply using it as a prop for seated meditation, the Makena gives your body the grounding it needs to go deeper without strain.

The organic buckwheat hull filling naturally adjusts to your body’s contours, offering firm but yielding support that doesn’t compress or flatten over time — unlike foam bolsters, it holds its shape and its integrity. The outer cover is crafted from soft, durable cotton with authentic African wax detailing, bringing a vibrant, handmade character to your practice space that no mass-produced prop can replicate. Because each bolster is individually made, slight variations in the fabric pattern are natural and part of what makes each piece unique.

Available filled or unfilled — choose unfilled if you’d prefer to source your own buckwheat locally or adjust the firmness to suit your practice.
