Small But Mighty: Don’t Underestimate the Yoga Strap
A yoga strap is an essential tool for yogis of all levels, offering versatility and support to deepen your practice. This simple, yet powerful prop helps improve flexibility, alignment, and strength. Whether you’re working on challenging poses or seeking greater comfort in stretches, a yoga strap provides the extra reach and stability needed to safely progress. I often refer to it as an “arm extender” it will help you reach hard (if not impossible) places.
For beginners, it assists in bridging the gap in flexibility, making poses more accessible. Advanced practitioners can use it to refine alignment, deepen stretches, or add resistance for strength training. Ideal for poses like forward folds, shoulder stretches, leg extensions, & lets not forget its many uses in restorative postures. A yoga strap is lightweight, portable, and can even double as your yoga mat carrier – two birds.
Incorporate a yoga strap into your routine to unlock new possibilities, reduce the risk of strain, and promote mindful movement. It’s a small investment with big benefits for your body and mind!
Pro Tip: they come in varied lengths – get a long one cuz its always easier to make it shorter than wish it were longer!
Strap Alternative: robe belt, scarf, towel, resistance band
My Top Pick: Tumaz
You know you’ve done too much yoga when you’ve found the superior strap brand, lol. I’ve done it – these Tumaz straps are the softest, most durable and the ONLY strap I’ve seen come in so many color options. Mine is black but its got this sort of innerwoven white (you might be able to see in the top photo), which is another cool feature I’ve not seen any other strap have. I have had mine for about 4 years, used it close to daily, and its still in as good of shape as day 1. Click the link to grab your own in your favorite color!
