Nice
Got this to open up my chest more to help me breathe better. It works. It’s pretty firm…borderline hard…so I can only lay on it or sit against it for a few minutes but that’s long enough to achieve my goal. Well-made. Recommend.

Perfect size
Perfect for sitting in easy seated pose, as a chest opener/support, and others. Handle is a nice bonus feature!

I love them so much that I have 4!
I love these Hugger Mugger pranayama pillows! I bought my first one 4 years ago after open lung surgery. I used it to open up my lungs. Even after 4 years of use (and abuse), it is in excellent condition! I use it lengthwise under my spine to relax as I open my lungs at night before retiring. I use it crosswise under my shoulders/neck/thoracic spine when I need to release muscle tension. I also use it lengthwise down the spine for reclining hero’s pose!I have purchased 3 more to keep in my bedroom so that I can have a superb relaxation time in supported baddha konasana before retiring. I will put one lengthwise for my spinal (lung) opening and one under each thigh (near the buttocks) to support my legs in baddha konasana (with a 10′ strap to hold my feet in place). This is absolute relaxation..IMHO!I am seriously considering buying a 5th so that I can have 2 in my exercise room (downstairs).

Fantastic Chest Opener
I had a double mastectomy 3 months ago. Needless to say that whole area is very tight. This bolster supports my spine and my very tight shoulders and chest can sink in and relax and release. 10/10 recommend!

Takes a Little Getting Used to
This is an awesome pillow for putting under your back just above the sacrum and lying down on – you may have to adjust a few things depending on your height. I use a rectangular bolster under my legs, sometimes some scrunched up shirt or something under each elbow or wrist and a soft pillow under my head. I love using a relaxation flax seed pillow over my eyes. I also like to cover up with a blanket.BUT, once I figured out how to get myself situated just right, the pillow expands my chest like nothing I’ve ever found and it is easy to sink into my breath.And the experience of this kind of deep breathing and relaxation is deeply restorative. So, give yourself this gift of deep relaxation – work with it if you need to – but you won’t be sorry.

Great bolster
So I hesitated at first to spend this much on a bolster. But I own no bolsters and need some so I decided to buy quality instead of buying cheap. I started with the pranayama because it’s the one I needed/wanted most plus the cheapest investment and would let me get a bead on wether spending more for a hugger mugger would be with it. Spoiler alert: it’s with it.So first of all it is very firm. This is good because I don’t want it to compress. It’s very nice on this regard. The fabric is nice and thick. It feels sturdy and well made.It is small as many state however that is because it is a *pranayama* bolster meant specifically for certain opening of the back and shoulders and other uses. It is *not* one of those standard giant yoga bolsters because this bolster is intended for different uses.

Wonderful spine support!
This yoga pillow is absolutely FANTASTIC. What a wonderful prop for relaxation time after yoga. It supports my entire spine and allows my chest and shoulders to open and relax.As with other Hugger Mugger pillows that I have reviewed, this one has a HANDLE on it so you can grab it easily … woo hoo! (Hugger Mugger, you think of everything!)I especially enjoy free shipping from Amazon on these pillows, as they are quite heavy and would rack up a substantial shipping charge on other sites.Enjoy!
