The benefits of using a yoga bolster in restorative poses

Doing restorative yoga with bolsters lessons the effort to do the pose as the yoga bolsters support the body. Yoga bolsters make restorative poses relaxing and beneficial. There are many ways to use them. Enjoy our list of restorative poses to help you relax and reset with yoga bolsters. Yoga eye pillows can add blissful benefits to most restorative poses, and are used in some of our demonstrations. 

Each featured restorative 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.
