A bolster is a densely filled, supportive cylinder that props the back, legs, neck and chest in yoga. In restorative poses it helps release tension, as the body can rest onto its steady yet yielding surface.
The heart motif
The heart is a universal symbol of love, tenderness and openness. The delicate hearts on the white cover reinforce a soothing, caring practice — a fitting match for chest-opening, restorative poses.
Material & make
The cover is made from OCS-certified organic cotton, and the inner fill is natural buckwheat hulls. The hulls hold a supportive shape yet give a little, so the cushion settles under the body. Shown here in off-white. Approximate size 60 × 16 cm.
How to use it
For restorative yoga, chest opening, supporting the knees and lower back, and relaxing stretches. The cylinder can also lie along the spine to open the chest gently.
Care & good to know
The cover closes with a zip or drawstring at the base, so the filling can be topped up or thinned at any time. Hand washing in cold water is recommended; remove the buckwheat filling before washing. Slight differences in shade and the living texture of the cotton are part of the handmade character, not a flaw.
Kept near a quiet corner, it stays within reach for the moments when there is time to settle inward.
