“I Am the Earth”: The Gaiam Philosophy
The name Gaiam is a fusion of “Gaia” — the ancient Greek goddess of Earth — and “I am.” It represents our commitment to honoring the interconnection between people, planet, and purpose. For over 25 years, we’ve been a trusted guide in the wellness world — not by chasing trends, but by standing for something timeless: mindfulness, sustainability, and holistic health.

The rectangular shape makes it ideal for supporting the back, legs, or neck, while the sturdy handle allows for easy transport between sessions. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or deepening your breath in a quiet moment of stillness, this bolster becomes an essential part of your wellness space.

What Our Community Says
“This mat made yoga feel accessible again.”
I was nervous starting yoga in my 40s, but Gaiam’s Premium Mat completely changed the game for me. It’s soft but supportive, and the grip is excellent — I don’t slide around like I did on cheaper mats. Plus, the design is so beautiful it makes me want to roll it out every morning. It’s helped turn my daily stretch into something I genuinely look forward to.
“The cork mat is the best I’ve used — hands down.”
I’ve gone through quite a few mats in the past few years, but nothing beats Gaiam’s Cork Mat. I use it for hot yoga, and the grip actually improves as I sweat — no towel needed. It feels solid, looks great, and I appreciate knowing it’s eco-friendly. You can tell a lot of thought went into how it was made. Highly recommend it to anyone who practices regularly.
“That bolster… I didn’t know I needed it until I had it.”
I ordered the Gaiam bolster on a whim, thinking it might help with my evening meditation. It’s now a non-negotiable part of my routine. It supports my back perfectly, and I even use it during long work-from-home hours to stretch my spine or prop up my feet. It’s well-made, soft but firm, and it washes easily. I’ve already bought one for a friend too.
