Yoga bolsters are versatile props that can transform your practice, offering support, comfort, and deepening your stretches. Here's how to make the most of them:
1. Support in Restorative Poses: In poses like Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle), place a bolster along your spine to open your chest and hips. This allows for deeper relaxation and enhances the restorative benefits.
2. Deepening Stretches: For seated forward bends like Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend), place a bolster over your legs. Resting your torso on the bolster provides a gentle stretch, easing tension in your back and hamstrings.
3. Enhancing Backbends: In poses like Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), placing a bolster under your sacrum provides support, allowing you to hold the pose longer and safely.
4. Meditation Aid: Sitting on a bolster during meditation helps maintain an upright posture, reducing strain on your lower back and hips, and encouraging longer, more comfortable sessions.
5. Comfort in Savasana: Place a bolster under your knees in Savasana (Corpse Pose) to relieve lower back tension, promoting deeper relaxation.
Using a bolster can make your practice more accessible and enjoyable, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned yogi. Explore our range of high-quality bolsters at Nurturing Inner Strength and Harmony to find the perfect addition to your practice.
