Mexican Yoga Blanket - Heavy Colorful Blankets
Mexican blankets bring a bit of south of the border style to your home. Their vibrant colors and lively patterns add a spark of Southwest sun to any corner, where they are just as likely to grace a table or warm a spot on the floor as accent a leather chair.
Mexican Blanket - Find it. Love it. Buy it.
Mexican blankets have unlikely but understandable fans in the yoga field, where the blankets are considered a versatile prop.
Two or more serve as a stable yet yielding surface for shoulder stands, and can be used in lieu of a bolster in restorative poses. If you are posing in "downward facing dog" (adho mukha svanasa) during morning yoga class, or just curled up in front of the TV for a late night movie - a soft, nubby Mexican blanket is sure to warm your soul, and your soles!
Available in an array of colors reminiscent of the richly hued Mexican landscape, and woven by hand or machine-loomed of coarse cottons, fuzzy wools and soft acrylics, Mexican blankets present you with a few decisions to make!
Hand woven blankets are largely the product of an efficient cottage industry operating throughout many small villages in the region. Larger enterprises utilize more sophisticated production methods, producing tightly woven blankets with a variety of natural and synthetic yarns.
Since the blankets are inexpensive and widely distributed throughout Mexico's larger urban and vacation areas, they have becoming a popular gift to bring back from an Acapulco vacation or quick visit to Tijuana.
Cotton and acrylic blankets are also ideal for the beach - just shake out the sand before you head home, and pop your blanket in the laundry for easy cleaning.
If a trip to Mexico isn't on your itinerary, shop online for quality Mexican blankets and throws. Numerous reliable sources offer a wide variety of blankets from which to choose.
