Yoga bolster is an auxiliary tool that gives support to the body, allowing the user to perform a variety of yoga postures and to relax the body and mind, relieving the accumulated fatigue and stress.
Yoga bolster can be roughly divided into two types: rectangular and cylindrical, which can support a wide range of the user's chest and back, allowing the lower body to sag naturally.
The elongated cubic yoga pillow is arguably the most classic style, and novice yogis may wish to refer to this standard shape.
You can rest your back or chest on its surface to maintain a stable posture while exercising, making it easy to perform yoga poses such as the supine hero pose.
“Meditation is a way for nourishing and blossoming the divinity within you.”
Bolster with a rounded shape makes it less likely to feel pressure or discomfort, and it fits the curves of the body more comfortably during movement.
For advanced practitioners who have been practicing yoga for some time, a pillar pillow can be taken into consideration.
If bolster is too soft, the body will easily sink and not be able to perform the correct postures.
Since yoga bolster has certain weight, it is advisable to choose a style with a carrying handle if you want to make the process easier.
When doing yoga, the body will lean on the yoga bolster, so it will become dirty after a while, if you can directly take off the pillowcase to clean it is more hygienic.
