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.

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.
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.
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!
I have exclusively practiced on carpet throughout my at home yoga journey. I always thought this was acceptable until the root board was suggested to me. Wow! What a difference maker! It provides a much more stable surface and I had no idea how much more improved my flows would be. My only feedback would be the connection between the two boards seems loose, so it doesn’t seem like one solid surface when you are using it. It buckles easily even with the side clamps if that makes sense. And my bones are getting used to using a more firm surface! But otherwise I highly recommend

My root Boards arrived and one was very warped, the other was slightly warped. They do not lay flat or snap neatly together. I emailed Customer Service two days ago and have had no response. Very disappointing.
Hi Brooke, we're sorry to hear about the warped boards and the delay in our response. Please reach out again so we can resolve this issue promptly. We appreciate your feedback and want to make things right.
I needed something to allow me to practice on carpet and after reading reviews decided to give Rootboard a try. So pleased with it. Works great on my carpet floors, feels sturdy when I am doing balance based positions and is easy to store when not in use.
LOVE MY ROOT BOARD. Its completely changed my life and my practice.
I have a 4 month old baby and started doing early morning pilates and yoga in my carpeted basement. After a few weeks of my mat sliding around like crazy I ordered a root board and it is an absolute game changer! So easy to set up and put away quickly and it makes me feel like I'm on a yoga studio floor! So thrilled with this purchase.
You made our day this morning, Carli. Thank you for the kinds words and we're so glad you're loving the Root Board.

Oh wow, I love using Root Board for outdoor Yoga. If you are after stability and support then Root Board is what you need. So grateful to Brian & Kathy for this innovative product.
Kirsty- so kind of you to review the Root Board and recommend it for outdoor yoga. It's one of the main reasons we designed the product. Practicing yoga outside on a flat stable surface is mindblowing. Glad you're enjoying it and thank you for the acknowledgement.
I'm so glad I decided to get my Bamboo Root Board! I have been doing yoga on carpet for a few months and my wrists started to hurt, so I did some research and found out that yoga on carpet is a bad idea. I ran across a review for this root board and I am so glad I did! It is great quality and I received it quickly. Now I no longer have to avoid yoga when carpet or other non-ideal surfaces are my only option. I keep the two pieces connected underneath my bed and they are easy to slide out when I need to use them and slide back under the bed to be out of the way. No regrets about this purchase!
I was looking for this exact thing, and it is perfect! It doesn't shift on the carpet, and it doesn't flex when doing push-ups or planks. My wrists love that. The quality is first rate.
I wanted to commit to my yoga practice at home, but I have carpet in every room. The Root Board has been great! I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now and love it. It provides the perfect amount of stability on my carpet. I love that it’s made from sustainable bamboo, and it’s a pleasing natural product to add to my practice. It is quite large and heavy; it wouldn’t really be easy to carry with you on a regular basis - it’s better for home use. I keep mine put together and move it behind my couch each time I use it. It comes with the plastic side clips so no need to purchase those separately.
If you intend to do regular yoga at home on carpet, then this is a perfect solution!
Love the quality of the wood, and it works so well on carpeted surfaces. Thanks for making it easier to practice at home.
So happy I ordered this as a Christmas gift to myself! It has been a wonderful addition for my practice.
Excellent on all aspects.
Bamboo Root Board
Absolutely positively changed my home practice. I have deep pile carpet in my office, which is where I practice yoga at home. Before getting my Root Board, I wasn’t doing any balances because I didn’t have a stable enough base. That has all changed. I can’t recommend Root Board enough if you have carpet in your practice room. Game changer.
Bamboo Root Board
Great product. I love how I can practice on carpet now.
Best purchase I've made in a while. Easy to clean, excellent craftsmanship and stability. I love it!!
Love the stability this board provides while practicing on carpet. Even better than anticipated!! Absolute game changer for my home yoga practice.
I recently moved into a new condo with carpeted floors, which made it difficult to practice yoga comfortably. The Root Board solved that problem instantly. It’s incredibly stable, and I’m now back to practicing regularly. I keep it out all the time—it’s become an essential part of my space.
Just moved into my new house with wall to wall medium pile carpet and thought, "Oh no! How am I going to do yoga?" Root Board to the rescue. It fits under my couch, snaps together in a ....well, in a snap...and provides excellent and stable support for my practice. Love the cute note that came with the board too! xo
Love this board! The board is solid and very well made. Works perfectly to stabilize my yoga mat on high pile carpet.
Allows me to concentrate on being steady and stable while practicing on carpet.
This board has really improved my handstand practice and is worth every penny if you want to take your practice to the next level
I’ve been eyeing the Root Board for a year now but it’s a bit of an investment for me so I waited. I got back into my yoga practice a couple of months ago and shortly after, noticed wrist pain, which I have never experienced before. I knew it was from practicing on carpet. Since I’m teaching yoga virtually now, I figured I should invest in the Root Board and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been practicing on it for the past week, about an hour each day, and I have had ZERO wrist pain. The Root Board is incredible quality and I know it will last a long time. It feels amazing to practice on a hard surface again. It had some bowing when I first got it but that went away within about 72hrs. It’s heavy but I don’t plan on traveling with it. All in all, 10/10 recommend! If you’re a yoga teacher, you can get a small discount for the Root Board through Be Yogi insurance. Thank you, Root Board!!
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.
