The birth of a new sustainable product
Not too long ago we wrote an article on The Frequency Of Clothing which was based off a study that measured the vibrational frequencies of fabrics. The study indicated that the frequency of a healthy human body rests at 100. Any fabric that measures 100 or more may impart energy, while low-frequency fabrics like polyester that measure zero, might drain it. In short, the higher the frequency, the more beneficial the fabric is for human health. It was no surprise that synthetic clothing measured at zero. After all, synthetic fabrics have never been alive! Natural fabrics like linen and wool were off the charts in vibrational frequency measuring at 5000!
What inspired our Shavasana linen throw blanket?
Linen sparked an interest in me. It's one of the most sustainable materials around [you had me at sustainable materials] and historically, linen has been revered for its healing properties, often used in bandages, linen sheets and clothing for its natural resistance to bacterial growth and fungi.

I like wool, but I don't like the itchy feeling of wool on my skin. But linen - I've always loved linen. I love its feel, I love its effortless beach vibe look. Linen breathes and in many ways, it comforts me. When I learned about linen's vibrational frequency, I knew I wanted to create a product using 100% pure linen. Being a yoga brand, it was a no brainer. I needed to create a 'Shavasana' linen blanket. Shavasana (corpse pose) in itself is the most relaxing pose, usually performed at the end of the yoga session. It acts a cool-down posture and releases the muscles, integrating the work done in your yoga practice. It is also a chance to drop from your thinking mind into your subconscious layers, where healing can happen. Imagine amplifying the physiological affects of Shavasana with the healing properties of linen? Imagine enclosing yourself in a warm layer of healing, energising perfection. [yes] Cue the Shavasana Linen Throw Blanket.

Natural Linen: The high frequency healer
Linen has many stand out qualities as a sustainable fabric and typically used to make soft linen clothing, linen bedding and other home textiles for a variety of reasons:
- Natural Antibacterial Properties: Linen is naturally resistant to bacteria and fungi. This reduces the risk of infections and promotes a cleaner, healthier environment for the skin.
- Breathability and Moisture-Wicking: Linen is highly breathable and has excellent moisture-wicking properties. It helps keep the skin dry and comfortable, reducing the likelihood of skin irritations and promoting a feeling of freshness.
- Hypoallergenic: Linen is hypoallergenic and is less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritate sensitive skin. This makes it a suitable choice for people with allergies or skin conditions.
- Thermal Regulation: Linen has excellent thermal regulation properties. It keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, providing comfort across different seasons and enhancing overall well-being.
- Durability and Sustainability: Linen is incredibly durable and becomes softer with each wash. Its long lifespan means fewer replacements, reducing environmental impact. Additionally, linen is biodegradable and made from the flax plant, which requires fewer pesticides and water than other crops, making it an eco-friendly choice.
- Comfort and Aesthetics: Linen's soft texture and natural appearance create a calming and soothing effect. The comfort and aesthetic appeal of linen contribute to a sense of well-being and relaxation, which is beneficial for mental and emotional health.
- Energy and Vibrational Qualities: In holistic health communities, linen is often believed to have high vibrational energy due to its natural origin. This energy is thought to promote healing and enhance overall vitality.
