Why We Partnered with Padmani
Jack UtermoehlYoga is a journey of connection, courage and community. At Asivana Yoga, our mission is to provide practitioners with the knowledge, tools and support they need to thrive.
We partner only with brands that reflect our core values of unity (Yoga), inner heroism (Vira), community (Kula), service (Seva) and sustainability (Ahimsa). Padmani does just that.
Their meditation pillows, loved in the Kundalini community for nearly a decade, remain true to their original design while continuing to inspire yogis around the world. As Padmani grows into a well‑rounded yoga lifestyle company, the founders continue to emphasize craftsmanship and compassion, making them a natural fit for our curated collection.
Padmani pillows are hand‑sewn in Maine, and all products are chosen for integrity and quality craftsmanship. In this article we explore what makes Padmani special, highlight a few favorite products and share why we are proud to bring them into our community.
What Makes Padmani Special
Each Padmani pillow is lovingly constructed in the USA with meticulous attention to detail. The loop‑style handle makes it easy to carry your pillow to classes or festivals, while medium‑weight upholstery fabrics deliver lasting durability. Quality craftsmanship is at the heart of the brand, supporting all body types and providing comfort during long sits.
Locally Sourced Materials
Padmani uses high‑quality cotton, linen and cotton‑blend fabrics that are locally sourced, ensuring durability and flexibility. The color palettes are artfully designed to bring joy and beauty to your practice, inviting you to express your personal style on the cushion. The pillows are filled with buckwheat hulls grown on a northern Maine farm, a hypo‑allergenic, toxin‑free material that supports structural alignment and can be adjusted to your preference.
Ergonomic Lotus Design
Padmani cushions combine fun and function, offering superior support for yoga, meditation and even floor sitting. The unique lotus point design creates space between each petal for your sit bones to settle, helping you establish a stable posture with ease. Whether you are in a meditation hall, classroom or living room, these pillows provide a soft yet steady foundation.
Community and Service
As Padmani evolves into a holistic yoga lifestyle brand, it remains deeply committed to giving back. Through the LunSeva Project, Padmani donates a portion of its sales revenue to provide menstrual cycle support and education for the underserved. The project advocates for access to resources, uninterrupted education and the elimination of prejudice. Partnerships with organizations like DivaCup help distribute reusable menstrual cups to those in need. This spirit of service aligns beautifully with our value of Seva.

Why We Partnered with Padmani
Padmani embodies the values that guide Asivana Yoga. Their hand‑crafted pillows demonstrate the heroism of dedicating oneself to quality and creativity. By sourcing materials locally and using toxin‑free buckwheat hulls, they honor the principle of ahimsa (non‑harm) toward people and the planet.
The lotus design reinforces the unity of body and mind, reminding us that each journey is unique. Through the LunSeva Project, Padmani serves the wider community, turning commerce into compassion. By bringing Padmani to our shop, we invite our community to sit with intention, practice with purpose and support causes that matter.
