Yoga bolsters are mainly used
for supporting the head, neck, and lower back whilst in a
restorative posture. Yoga
bolsters help you to achieve
a good stretch and relax at the same time.
Yoga bolsters should be around
3 kilograms (7 pounds) in weight, and be filled with dense
cotton. Look for a
yoga bolsters which is around
60 centimetres (two foot) long with a diameter of 23 centimetres
(9 inches).
If you do not have a bolster
to hand, then you can roll up a blanket and use that.
Yoga bolsters
will absorb a lot of sweat so they should ideally have a removable
and washable cotton cover. Air your yoga
bolster regularly.
If you are going to buy a yoga
bolster, avoid zips which will
scratch your skin, and instead look for a yoga
bolster with a draw string. Alternatively,
you could make your own.
