Pranayama is the practice of breath regulation—controlling your inhalation, exhalation, and retention to calm the mind and body. This light, rectangular pranayama bolster is specifically designed to support your body and keep your chest perfectly open during your breathing practice. By gently elevating the spine, this sturdy pillow slowly opens up the chest cavity, allowing for deeper inhalations and exhalations that extend to the inner layers of your body. The Perfect Blanket Replacement Designed as a modern alternative for traditional Iyengar yoga setups, this pranayama bolster fully replaces the need for stacked or folded blankets under your spine. For an optimal and deeply relaxing setup, it is recommended to place a yoga blanket underneath your head to ensure maximum comfort, neck alignment, and better breathing. How to Use It Simply place the pranayama pillow along the length of your spine and lie down on your back. Take deep, conscious breaths. Relax all your muscles as if they are melting into the ground, let your thoughts come and go, and enjoy the deep restoration for 10 to 15 minutes.
