A round yoga bolster with a clean black-and-white print that brings a graphic yet calm accent to the room. The round bolster holds you where the body would otherwise let go, and brings a characterful accent to the practice space.
What a bolster is for
A bolster is a densely packed, elongated cushion that, placed under the back, neck, lower back, behind the knees or under the arms, supports the body in yoga poses. It helps in both active and restorative practice: with steady support the body weight can release, the breath can deepen and the effect of the pose grows.
Material and make
Both the inner and outer covers are pure cotton, with a natural buckwheat-hull filling that holds the body well. The height can be shaped to taste: removing some filling makes a lower, gentler support. It measures about 60 × 16 cm.
How to use it
For restorative and yin yoga, chest- and hip-opening poses, and as a comfortable sitting prop. It also works as a decorative cushion in the living room.
Good to know
The buckwheat-hull filling can settle a little over time; when it does, knead the bolster gently. Keep it in a dry place and avoid lasting damp.
Care
The cover can be removed and washed gently. Because of the dyeing, the shade of the print may vary a little from piece to piece.
