All our offered range is widely acknowledged for its fine finishing, aesthetic designs, attractive looks, low maintenance and impeccable quality.

Yoga Bolsters can help counteract bad posture, softly open up your chest, ribs and belly (great for your meridians and circulation), improve blood flow to your key organs, encourage calmer breathing or reduce fatigue and stress in the body.

Bottom line, your body will feel deeply supported when resting on a bolster, which in turn allows you to release, relax and rejuvenate.

5 great therapeutic applications for a yoga bolster:

Practice any of the following for between 5 to 20 minutes. Close your eyes, relax your breathing and enjoy. Remember being comfortable is always the key. If it doesn’t feel right adjust the bolster until you are super comfy. We are all unique and your body knows what it needs.

1: Supported back bend – chest opener:

Great for opening the front area of your body (belly ribs and heart), nourishes your organs and great for improving digestive function (I can vouch for that). Its perfect to combat the effects of long hours hunched over a computer.

Remember comfort is always the key. So in addition to whats shown in the picture above, I would personally place a blanket or pillow under the neck to allow the neck/head/shoulder area to relax deeply and soften th

2: Childs pose supported with bolster

This is one of my absolute favourites. Kneel and pull the bolster between your legs. Now, gently lay face down resting the front of your body on the bolster. Adjust until you are comfy, close your eyes and breath. You are essentially turning your back to the world which is probably why I feel so safe and relaxed in supported childs pose.

Whilst resting in this pose breathing into your kidneys is a simple way to use the breath to gently open up and relax the muscles in your sacrum, lower back area.

I’ve written about supported child pose before as a remedy for insomnia and calming a racing mind. You can click here to find out more and see a picture of the pose if you are not sure. It’s highly restorative pose and deeply nourishing to your nervous system.

3: Heart chakra opener:

Laying with your head, shoulders and spine along the bolster has many benefits. It helps improve digestion, gentle stretches your diaphragm, intercostals and abdominals. This is a great pose to simply focus on, and follow nothing else except your breath.

Inhale into your heart space and feel the surrender and relaxation that

4: Elevated legs up the wall with bolster

Instead of resting your bottom on the floor in legs up the wall you simply pop a bolster under your buttock area to give a nice little lift. You’ll feel a gentle opening throughout your lower back and should feel a slight release with more blood and energy flow shortly afterwards. It refreshes the lungs and heart, brings new blood flow to your stomach area, rests weary legs and helps calm the mind.

5: Lying in savasana – the relaxation pose:

Lay on your back with your legs slightly parted and feet flopping out to the sides. Have your arms away from your body with your palms facing up, fingers slightly curled and fingers and thumbs soft and relaxed. Part your lips a little to release any tension in your jaw and neck area. All these seemingly insignificant little steps are important in triggering the relaxation response in the body and releasing fatigue, anxiousness and stress.

This is the ultimate yoga relaxation pose and one which you will be familiar if you have been to a yoga class. Its generally the pose done at the end of the class.
