This makes them a great choice for yogis with wool allergies.Mexican Blankets are great for all types of yoga, especially Iyengar, Anusara, and Restorative. Stack under your shoulders for shoulderstand. Fold to make a soft bolster. Place under your hips for seated forward bends. Use over and under the body for Savasana. They are also perfect for use as cushioning against hard floors.
