Expect it to elevate your yoga-at-home sanctuary while providing the stability you need for challenging balance and inversion poses.

Care Instructions
The Root Board is bamboo flooring made of organic material that reacts to temperature and humidity. Upon receiving your Root Board you can anticipate it will need time to acclimate to your environment. The Root Board is constructed with three layers of bamboo; the top and bottom plies are horizontal and the middle layer is transverse. This cross hatched approach makes the board extremely strong however, creaking or tiny lines at the seams of the bamboo strands are uncommon but may occur. Rest assured, the Root Board has been stress tested and, when used for its intended purpose, will last for many years to come.
If used indoors the Root Board needs only an occasional wipe down with a moist towel. If used outdoors you may find that you need to wipe off sand, dirt or grass clippings. Do so with a wrung out wet cloth and follow that up with a dry soft cloth. The Root Board is protected by a UV coating and should withstand many years of use if cared for properly.

Customer Reviews
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.
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
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.
Amazing what a difference the Root Board made in taking my yoga practice to another level. I love how the Board helps to ground me in my balance poses. Thank you for creating a product that supports me in my practice!
You are so welcome, Lois! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about our product.
I've had the board for a week. It was exactly what I was looking for to help with balance when practicing on carpet. So far I'm loving it!
