Yoga Props - Belts

Author: Sundeep Sitara

Yoga belts are also known as yoga straps. Yoga belts are used to increase the effectiveness of various yoga postures. For example, while practising Paschimottanasana (intense back stretch), if you are unable to reach your feet, you can place a yoga belt around your feet when your legs are stretched out in front of you and pull the yoga belt towards you to bring your head to your knees and enhance the stretch.

Yoga belts can also help prevent muscle or joint strain because they will give you the required tension without you straining to achieve it. Yoga belts will help you achieve tension whilst remaining relaxed, which will allow you to concentrate on your breathing.

For some seated and standing yoga poses you can use two yoga belts at a time - so think about buying two yoga belts.
