What is a Yoga Strap?
A yoga strap is one of the many yoga accessories and it may be a particularly good one for beginning students who lack flexibility or for anyone practicing yoga that still needs work in this area. Some of the yoga poses taught in basic forms of yoga are very difficult to do properly if a person doesn’t have adequate ability to stretch. In these cases, the yoga strap may be employed to allow people to take a modified pose that still allows for plenty of body work and stretch, with much less potential for injury. Most yoga straps are between six to nine feet (1.83-2.74 m) long and are made in materials like cotton, or are alternately made of hemp. Taller people may want to look for those straps that are in longer lengths, but many find a six-foot strap adequate. The majority of straps are not greatly expensive and are slightly more or less than $10 US Dollars (USD).
