These eye pillows are great at the end of a yoga session during relaxation (Savasana). They help to ease any tension around the eyes , allowing the muscles in the face to release more. And with a wonderful lavender scent, the aroma itself is relaxing too. They are so easy to make, and because they are small you could sew them by hand too if you haven’t got a sewing machine. They make wonderful stocking filler gifts at Christmas. Here’s a free tutorial to help you make your own.
