This grey yoga strap is a quiet, practical helper for your home or studio practice. It is made of 100% cotton with a metal D-ring closure. Length is 183 centimetres, width is four centimetres, weight around 79 grams.
How the strap helps you
The strap is a good companion when a pose is still a little out of reach. For example in a forward fold, if you cannot yet reach your toes, you can loop the strap around the sole of your foot and approach the posture comfortably and safely. It helps with shoulder opening, with stretching the back line, and with staying in the pose in a controlled way with calm breathing.
What the 183 centimetre length is for
This standard length is enough for most practice, and does not get tangled while you use it. The four centimetre wide band does not press into the palm, it is comfortable to hold, yet thin enough not to limit blood flow. The D-ring closure is simple: thread the end of the band through the two rings, then pull it back – that is all.
Material and feel
The strap is made of 100% cotton, which has a pleasant feel and stands up well to regular use. The metal D-ring is strong, and holds securely under load. One thing to note: the shade of the colour may vary slightly between dye lots; this is a natural feature of the dyeing process.
Washing and care
Hand wash the strap in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid hot water and the spin cycle, so the shape and colour stay nice. After gently squeezing out the water, lay it flat in the shade to dry. Do not place it on a radiator, as the fibres may stretch.
Where to keep it
The strap is light, around 79 grams, so it fits easily into a tote or a gym bag. At home it is good to keep it where you often practise – for example next to your mat in a small basket – so it is always at hand when you feel like a short stretch.
