Remember that yoga straps are there to support your practice, so use them as needed to improve your alignment and comfort while respecting your body’s limitations..

Using your New Yoga Strap:

• Use the strap to extend your reach in seated forward bends, hamstring stretches, or reclining leg stretches. For example, in a Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana), loop the strap around the soles of your feet and hold the ends with your hands to help you reach your toes if you can’t do so comfortably without straining.
• In poses like Extended Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana), you can place the strap around your waist to maintain proper alignment by preventing your hips from shifting backward.
• In Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana), you can use a strap to support your shoulders and neck, allowing your weight to rest on the shoulders rather than the neck.
• If you struggle to clasp your hands in binding poses like Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana), use the strap to bridge the gap between your hands. Hold one end of the strap in each hand and slowly work on bringing your hands closer over time.
• In balance poses like Tree Pose (Vrikshasana), use the strap for stability by wrapping it around your ankle and holding onto a wall or chair for support.
• Straps are often used in restorative and therapeutic yoga to provide gentle support and relaxation. For example, in Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose), you can place a strap around your thighs to support the knees and hips
