Inner Space Yoga bolsters are made by yoga practitioners, for any body to use. We want every body to experience the benefits of using a yoga bolster while practicing yoga. Because we think our bolsters are that great! 

The benefits of using a yoga bolster in standing poses

Standing poses are strenuous when held with attention to detail and alignment. Yoga bolsters are there for you! Placing the head on support in standing poses is calming for the mind. Using a bolster for support on the floor can be an act of kindness for your body.  Take a stand. Be gentle with yourself. Use a yoga bolster. 

Each featured standing pose is linked to our Pose of the Week blog, with details on how to do the pose using a bolster, additional variations using bolsters plus more benefits and reasons you should give it a try.
