Especially when doing some challenging yoga poses, the use of yoga bolsters supports the neck, back or waist. It supports you during the yoga experience and minimizes your risk of injury.
What to Consider When Buying a Yoga Bolster?
- When buying a yoga bolster, it is important to make sure that the fabric type is panama fabric. Since the panama fabric type has a soft texture, it is the most suitable fabric type for the human body.
- When buying a yoga bolster, you should pay attention to whether the cover has a zipper. Because the zipper of the yoga mat allows you to wash it whenever you want in terms of cleaning.
