Who Can Use the Yoga-Mad 2.5m Belt?
This long belt is designed especially for taller people to perform regular yoga poses. It can also be used for binding as it can wrap around more of the body. If you're looking for a regular length belt (2m), take a look at the Yoga-Mad Standard Cinch Strap.
Which Poses are the Long Cinch Strap Best For?
The Yoga-Mad Long Cinch Strap is best used for binding in postures such as Supta Padnagusthasana (Reclining Hero stretch), as extensions in forward bends like Urdhvamamukha Janu Sirasana (head on knee) and as support in Paripurna Navasana (the boat).
What are Yoga Binds?
Binding essentially refers to a pose in which a body part holds on to another when intertwined. This should allow you to deepen into the pose and hold it for a longer period of time. By looping the belt around the 2 body parts, this helps to hold the posture correctly and in place without straining the user.
