So, first thing’s first – what is a yoga bolster and why do you need one?  A yoga bolster is a shaped cushion used in different styles of yoga, especially restorative yoga (yoga postures that are held for several minutes at a time resulting in calming the body and mind).  They are designed to provide support for certain parts of the body to make certain yoga positions more comfortable and to prevent injury

Well, with a disease that has been around so long, it only makes sense to look for a solution in a methodology that has also been around for a long time … yoga! But how can exercises help when you’re already in pain?

The basic tenets of yoga are actually all that is needed in the treatment of arthritis. Bending exercises and contorted poses are obviously not an option. But it is the practice of breathing and self-awareness that brings arthritis pain relief to so many people.

Rectangular bolsters are great for poses requiring stable support and can replace stacks of blankets in some asanas (lotus or cross-legged position).

Breathing bolsters support the long muscles on both sides of your spine, enabling them to relax fully.  As your chest stretches, your breathing slows and deepens.

Zafu bolsters are traditionally associated with meditation.  Zafu literally means “sitting cushion.”  It is considered the most versatile size of cushion in that it can support a variety of postures.

Yoga bolsters are especially useful when you are first starting out as a beginning yoga student.  The bolster can be used to prop your torso up while you’re sitting in a lotus or cross-legged position and is more comfortable than sitting on the ground if you’re not used to sitting in that type of position
