This asymmetrical brioche and garter stitch mat is for meditation (in the small size) or a gentle yoga practice composed of slow, deliberate movements (in the larger size). It cushions the body and adds warmth and coziness to the experience.

The larger size also works as a shawl to keep you warm as you sit in stillness.
