Great Option for Home Practice

I am recovering from cancer and haven't been cleared to join in person classes. After ten years of daily practice-this was a huge hole in my life. The board provides a great foundation to practice on in carpeted areas and is even firm enough to support handstands and more advanced balance poses.

Perfect for stability

The board is sturdy and is just what was needed to continue my yoga practice at home. Our carpet is very thick and fluffy, which made any balancing very difficult. With this board in place, I finally have the stability needed and am no longer falling on my face with every one legged pose.

How to feel really rooted

After three years of consideration and attempts at home-made efforts I invested in a Root Board to support my yoga practice. My house has carpets everywhere except for the narrow hallways and cluttered kitchen. Prior to getting one I’d been doing yoga on my mat on the cold , hard floor of the kitchen, or outside on concrete flags (hard and cold) or grass (wobbly and unstable).

The Root Board is a marvel and has totally transformed my practice. It’s warm, with the correct amount of push-back. It really grounds you and assists with balance so well that you can really get into the poses.

It’s portable (although quite heavy and ungainly) and can be moved to wherever you require. And it has a beautiful finish. Real care has gone into its making.

In the UK the shipping cost is an investment in itself, and that initially put me off, but that’s what it costs to send heavy wood from the west of the USA to the UK. It was worth every penny. A total boon to my practice and as a result I cannot wait to get on my mat each day. It sits next to my bed, so I wake up, do yoga, and do some yin before sleep. I love my Root Board so very much. I thank its developers for creating a fantastic tool from which all yogis without easily-accessible wooden floors could benefit.

Beautiful well-made product

I’m using for a purpose other than support for yoga mat …. Pad underneath exercise equipment to stop them from digging into carpet. Beautiful choice over rubber mats

Amazing product!

I am very happy with my new Bamboo Root Board. Not only is it beautiful it functions exactly as I had hoped. I’m using it primarily on low pile carpet and it is the perfect hard surface for my yoga mat.

What a Change!

I love my Root Board! At home, I often practice on a rug or carpet, and until I used the Root Board, I didn't know how much I needed a hard floor. It really enhances my practice- I have better alignment in my poses and I balance so much better!

Thank you, Tiffany. We appreciate you taking the time to write your thoughts about the Root Board. Brian

A game changer!

I wish I had known about this sooner when I started my daily home practice 4 years ago! This board is exactly what I needed to help protect my wrists from doing yoga on the carpet. It's easy to assemble and has not only help my wrists feel better, but it's helping me in all aspects of my practice. Thank you!

Bridget - So glad the Root Board is meeting your needs. We couldn't agree more that it solves the challenges of practicing yoga on carpet. Before the summer ends, may we suggest that you try using it outside? Outdoor yoga on a studio-like surface is extraordinary. So exhilarating!

Sturdy, smooth to the touch, works great on my thick carpet. Would highly recommend this product for beginner yogi to the well seasoned yogi.

Love the Root Board!

I can finally practice yoga on my plush carpet! I’m amazed how solid and firm it is. I feel perfectly stable balancing and am grateful my wrists and ankles are fully supported. So happy to have found the Root Board. Thank you!

It’s been great!

I recently moved into a new home and my yoga space went from hard wood to carpet. I looked at the Root Board as well as the plastic Lifeboard. I decided to go with the Root Board, and I have no regrets. It’s been perfect for keeping my practice going in my new, carpeted space! It’s stable, stays in place and feels like practicing on wood flooring.

So perfect!

I love this board! I works perfectly on the carpet. I’ve been searching for something like this for a long time and now I fount the perfect companion to my yoga practice. Well made, smooth and beautiful. Thank you!

I didn’t know what to expect and honestly, I thought it might be a ridiculous purchase. Nah, this is amazing. My back feels so good on it. It is so enjoyable and comfortable to do yoga on this thing. I love it.

Need it for Travel

You'll need this bag for traveling. It's really well designed and made of a sturdy canvas. The handles are reinforced. Definitely needed.

Excellent

The must have yoga prop, creates stability on uneven surfaces and protects wrists. It does weigh a bit and is bulky, but once you have it set up, it's worth the trouble.

Resumed Practice w Root Board

So thankful to have received my Root Board for Mother’s Day!!! I had given up on my home practice because my mat seemed to enjoy moving as much as I do, plus I had zero stability in my home studio. Now I prefer yoga at home. I can practice anytime I want with ease in a quiet zen atmosphere. The Root Board is amazingly solid, and creates a very stable grounding, it fits perfectly under my Manduka, who now stays in a corpse pose throughout my entire practice. ☺️
Thank you Root Board!! I love it!! ❤️

Wow, Angie, your review inspires us! Thank you so much for writing and telling your fellow yogis (in such a humorous and creative way) what stablility the Root Board brings to your practice. Here's to many transformative practices to come!

Game changer for my outdoor practice

LOVE my Root Board - it has opened a whole other space for my practice. I never loved to be outside with my mat - it was uneven and hard to have level postures. With this, I can now practice on the beach, in my backyard and indoors on carpet. Recommend getting the carrying case - makes it easy to pack up and carry it easily.

Great option for yoga on carpet

The Root Board is very sturdy and well made. It is easy to assemble and store. Know that is is heavy (28 lbs). This is not an item that is easily portable.

Great for apartments

My living room now has a great space for yoga and other exercises.

Just what I needed!

This has been a great addition to my home practice. Going from the studio & then sometimes practicing at home with carpet made quite a difference. This allows for more stability for my joints & body & an overall improved home practice. Easy storage under a couch/bed. Would recommend.

Love my Root Board!

I was practicing on carpet - losing grip and wearing out my really nice mat. Now I don’t slip and have grip. Thanks Root Board 💕

Root to rise

So far I love it. Only complaint is I wish it was a tad bigger. I am a tall yogi 6’1. I can make it work but my extra large mats don’t fit. Excited to try it outside in the sand but it’s winter in Wisconsin. Holds up great on tbr carpet. It’s kinda nice to grip underneath the wood and find a bit of a deeper fold in certain asanas.

Thank you for the notes, Mark. We are hopeful that there is a longer version in our future. Stay tuned. Love the comment about gripping the board to gain deeper fold, too. Good luck, stay safe!
