10. Antibacterial Mat/Apparatus Spray

Don’t be fooled by their name, “yoga mat detox” yoga mat cleaners by Asutra work great on Pilates mats, props, and apparatus, too! These non-toxic tea tree oil-based sprays are natural antibacterials. Choose from six invigorating scents like soothing sweet rose, peaceful lavender, or calming citrus, or grab an unscented spray. Gift packs available!

9. Grip Socks

We are huge fans of Tucketts grip socks! Not only do they have tons of cute lengths, cuts, and color choices, they use sustainable packaging and ethical manufacturing practices. Tucketts grip socks are available for both men and women, with gift packs and bundles available. Stay warm, supported, and covered with grip socks!

8. Pilates-themed Stationary

Known for their whimsical Pilates-themed apparel, Pilates Nerd also has great accessories to incorporate into your Pilates-loving lifestyle. Let your online Pilates family know how much you appreciate them with these “Virtual Star” postcards. Or grab a “Pilates in the House” lined notepad to keep track of lists and notes.

7. Pilates-themed Face Mask

We love these beautiful, Pilates-themed face masks from Pilates Goddess Clothing. Choose from 12 different designs in either traditional face mask form, or versatile face mask/headband style. We also love the “Pilates Moves Me” face mask from Pilates Nerd.

5. Reformer Mat

The perfect companion to your Pilates reformer, the Reformer Mat is a cute and hygienic way to add some style to your practice! We couldn’t decide on our favorite out of the 18 unique designs because we loved them all so much! Each Reformer Mat is cut to lay down perfectly on the carriage, including the headrest, and stay put.
