Inner Space Yoga, Making Your Yoga Practice More Colorful

Screen shot of a Shop page showing one of the beautiful fabrics Inner Space Yoga has available.

Located just outside Asheville, Inner Space Yoga offers quality props for yoga studios and home use. Their colorful and unique yoga props – bolsters, eye pillows, zafus, and sandbags – are hand made, to order, using beautiful fabrics from around the world.

The Inner Space Yoga website needed to showcase these fabric and allow for custom ordering of bolsters in three different styles, eye pillows in two styles, and zafus.

As many of the fabrics are available in limited quantities, updating and adding in new fabrics with ease was a must!

Inner Space Yoga was created in 2007 by Angela McWilliams, to meet the need for quality, domestically manufactured yoga props. All designs were developed and refined with the input of Angela’s teachers and fellow yogins, with the goal of creating yoga props that are durable, well-made, supportive and, above all, beautiful. Many of the materials, such as the cotton batting, are sourced locally, and the products are sewn by either Angela herself, or local sewers.

As with most yoga folks I know, Angela is encouraging to everyone to get started with yoga and realized that many people might not understand what a Round, Oval or Flat Bolster meant and how to select a style when ordering. Therefore it was also important that the website contain information to assist customers in making a bolster selection. The WordPress site we customized for Angela provides her with static pages for such info, along with her shop, social media links, blog, and basic wholesale inquiry form. The site also contains a slideshow of bolsters in use to inspire you.

Visit Inner Space Yoga and ooh and ahh over the beautiful fabrics, then make a selection and soon Angela will be handcrafting your colorful yoga prop.
