Simple prompts. Beautifully crafted props. A month of practice you’ll actually look forward to.
December offers an opportunity to slow down, stretch out and let go of the year just gone, and create space for the one to come. This Advent Calendar is designed to help you bring a little curiosity and intention into each day, with high-quality props that elevate every practice.
DAY 1: Yoga Headstand Body Lift
Practice Idea: Explore safe inversion training. Start in Dolphin Pose and place your forearms into the base, letting the body lift guide you upward with stability. Work on lifting one leg at a time to build confidence, shoulder strength, and balance; no pressure to fully invert unless it feels right.

DAY 2: Natural Rubber Base + Alignment Mat
Practice Idea: Move through a slow Sun Salutation using the alignment markers to refine foot and hand placement. Focus on symmetry from left to right, and notice how the grip supports safer transitions.

DAY 3: Small Organic Cotton Bolster (Kapok Filled)
Practice Idea: Try Supported Child’s Pose by placing the small bolster lengthwise under your torso. The gentle elevation softens the spine, melts the shoulders, and calms the nervous system.

DAY 4: Extra-Large, Densely Filled Organic Bolster
Practice Idea: Set up a fully supported Reclined Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana). Use the large bolster under the spine and small blankets under the knees. The dense filling offers deep, unwavering support that holds you effortlessly for long relaxation sessions.
Practice Inspo: Relieve anxiety with a yoga bolster
DAY 5: 2.5m Yoga Belt
Practice Idea: Use the belt in Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) to elongate the spine without rounding the lower back. Or try shoulder mobility loops: holding the belt wide, slowly taking the arms up and behind to open the chest.
Practice Inspo: Yoga with a Belt Class
DAY 6: Medium Organic Cotton Yoga Blanket
Practice Idea: Fold the blanket as a firm lift under your sitting bones for meditation or pranayama. Or roll it into a supportive pad for knee comfort during low lunges.

DAY 7: Yoga Wheel

DAY 8: Meditation Cushion (Zafu)
Practice Idea: Sit for a short grounding meditation. Allow the cushion to lift your hips and soften your knees, so your spine can rise effortlessly. Even three minutes on the Zafu can change the tone of your day.

DAY 9: Himalayan Cotton Eye Pillow
Practice Idea: Take a longer Savasana with the eye pillow resting gently across the eyes and temples. Let the weight signal the brain to drop into deeper rest.

DAY 10: Yoga Chair
Practice Idea: Use a Yoga Chair for Supported Backbends. Sit facing the chair back, thread your legs through, and gently recline over the seat with a bolster or blanket under the spine. The chair provides secure structure so the chest can open without strain, creating a deep yet accessible heart-opening experience.

DAY 12: Sound Bowls
Practice Idea:Close your 12-day practice journey with a moment of sound and stillness. Sit comfortably, place the bowl on its cushion or in the palm of your hand, and gently circle the rim with the mallet until the vibration blooms into a steady hum. Let the resonance wash through the body, a settling sound that helps release the mental clutter of the year.

Consistency feels easier when your tools support you. These 12 days are designed to bring joy back into your practice, create simple rituals you can maintain, and help you rest, restore, and realign.
Whether you’re refreshing your home space or gifting someone their next favourite prop, December is the perfect time to invest in practice.
