So you’re thinking about getting a Yoga bolster for your home practice? Good choice.<\/em> But before you spend \u00a0let me share what I’ve learned after 20+ years of teaching therapeutic and Yin Yoga.<\/p>\n Oh BTW this is only one post in a bunch of props video’s you can see: Bricks<\/a>, Blocks<\/a>, Blankets<\/a>, Straps<\/a> \u00a0and Yoga mats.<\/p>\n If you would rather watch than read scroll down.<\/p>\n I remember when Yoga props were hard to find<\/em>. Now? Everyone sells them, even department stores. The problem is that quality has gone way down<\/strong>. You can waste money on cheap stuff that won’t last, and honestly, that’s why I wanted to write this.<\/p>\n Here’s the thing: rectangular bolsters<\/strong> are easier to sit on for meditation or seated poses. They don’t have that whole “balancing on a log” feeling. Round bolsters<\/strong> are great if you’re mostly lying over them for heart openers or restorative poses, but they take forever<\/em> to squish down enough for comfortable sitting.<\/p>\n This is huge and people mess this up all the time. If you’re petite, those standard bolsters might literally swallow you up<\/em>. Grab a friend and a tape measure. Check the dimensions online and measure:<\/p>\n Some companies make mini bolsters (sometimes called pranayama bolsters) for smaller frames. If you’re tall, look for extra-long bolsters<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Overwhelm Is Real<\/h4>\n
Round vs. Rectangular: Which One?<\/h4>\n
