Wipeable Vinyl Bolster Covers
Our smaller, Prana Bolsters can be made with wipeable, vinyl covers. These vegan leather covers are sewn with high quality boat and car vinyl to help reduce the risk of cracking or ripping. Vinyl bolsters are great for outdoor yoga, hot yoga studios or therapy clinics because they are easy to clean.
How to use a Prana Bolster
1. Seated Forward Fold Enhancer
In poses like Paschimottanasana (seated forward fold), place the bolster along your legs and fold forward over it. It encourages a deeper release with less strain, especially helpful for those working with tight hamstrings or seeking a more restorative version of the pose.
2. Supported Side-Lying Twist
Lie on your side with knees bent, and place the bolster along your torso—tucked close to your belly and chest. Gently drape your upper body over the bolster, turning your chest slightly toward the floor for a supported twist. Rest one cheek on the bolster, arms relaxed around it.
This is deeply soothing for the nervous system and a lovely way to wind down before sleep.
Optional: Place a folded blanket between your knees for extra hip support.
3. Gentle Heart Opener for Desk Workers
Place the bolster lengthwise along the spine (from mid-back to head) while lying on your mat or the floor. Let your arms rest out to the sides in a T-shape or cactus arms. This helps open the chest and shoulders after hours of sitting or hunching over screens.
Tip: Add a folded blanket under the head if your chin is tipping too far back.
