Yoga bolsters and yoga cushions – support for your practice
Yoga cushions, yoga bolsters and blankets are useful aids for yoga practice, which you can get from YOGISTAR in various high-quality designs. You can also find the popular TriYoga sandbag in this category.
Your Yoga Bolster from YOGISTAR
At YOGISTAR you will find yoga bolsters and yoga cushions in different versions, so that you can choose exactly the right product for your needs. Perhaps a combination of different models is even ideal for you to achieve a special variety in your practice. Below we will briefly introduce you to the different bolsters so that you can get an overview quickly and easily. As always, you can find out more about each product in the individual descriptions.
TriYoga Bolster, round
This yoga bolster is a classic large, round bolster that can of course be used not only for TriYoga, but also for other exercise styles (e.g. Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, etc.). The bolster is filled with spelt husks, has a robust cotton cover and a practical carrying strap. It is available in the colors graphite and burgundy.
TriYoga Bolster, large
This square bolster is filled with foam and has a durable cotton cover. It is also suitable as a seat cushion. The TriYoga Bolster is available in four beautiful colors: graphite, lilac, burgundy and white.
What is a yoga bolster for?
Yoga bolsters and yoga cushions are used in particular in TriYoga, Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga and can be used to support a posture so that it can be deepened, held for a longer period of time and also passively held. Round bolsters, for example, are often placed under the spine to encourage a deep backbend, and can be used lengthways or crossways as required. Yoga bolsters or yoga cushions are softer and more flexible than the dimensionally stable blocks, but still provide hold and support. They are also often used in prenatal yoga, for example.
Your yoga cushion from YOGISTAR
In this category you will find the TriYoga yoga cushion, which is small and light and offers a wide range of uses. Again, the cushion can of course be used far beyond TriYoga. The cushion is available with a filling of spelt or kapok. In some positions you may need a comfortable little elevation or support under your hips. The TriYoga cushion is ideal for this. It also serves you well as a seat pad. The TriYoga yoga bolster (see above) can also be used as a yoga cushion. You can find higher cushions that are specifically designed for meditation in our special section for meditation accessories.
Your blanket from YOGISTAR
A blanket for yoga? Even if at first glance it may seem as if a cozy cotton blanket is only for a cozy evening on the couch or a picnic on your favorite meadow, a blanket can also be a great help for yoga; for example, as a supplement or replacement for yoga cushions or yoga bolsters. Not only does it warm you during the final relaxation in Shavasana, during meditation or during your Pranayama exercises, but it can also be folded up and used as a base if a yoga block is too high, too hard or not wide enough, or if there are no blocks to hand. The blanket also has the advantage that its height can be varied depending on how often you fold it. A blanket is therefore a great, variable base and can be used for many different asanas (see also yoga blocks and wedges).
At YOGISTAR you can get various high-quality cotton blankets, which we would like to tell you a little about here:
Cotton blanket (organic)
This super comfortable blanket made of organic cotton is available in a wide range of beautiful colors. The 2m long blanket is warm without scratching and has a truly wonderful pile. The blanket is non-static and feels great on the skin. A must for organic fans!
Cotton blanket Cotton pur
Cotton as you love it: temperature-regulating and cuddly soft - that's what the Cotton pur cotton blanket offers you. The skin-friendly, breathable cotton, which is GOTS-certified, is dyed tone-on-tone in this model - in many different color variations. This blanket is also 2m long.
Cotton blanket colorful, Chakra
This blanket is something very special and simply a joy: With its bright colors, it is immediately visually inspiring. The beautiful color combination of this blanket is not just an eye-catcher, but was chosen very deliberately: These are the colors that are traditionally assigned to the seven chakras from Indian teachings and which, according to tradition, can also be used to activate and harmonize the chakras. This exceptionally beautiful and very popular blanket is GOTS-certified and, just like all other models, has all the great properties of cotton.
Cotton blanket, blue - Flower of Life
The flower of life is a well-known symbol that is said to have a variety of positive effects on an energetic level. This blanket is also 2m long and is GOTS-certified. It is particularly popular as a meditation blanket and is also very nice to cover yourself with for Shavasana.
Your sandbag from YOGISTAR
The sandbag is a very helpful tool for asana practice, as it can be used in many different postures to deepen the stretch or to relax further into the posture. Some examples of how to use the sandbag are:
- Placed under the feet, the sandbag stretches the Achilles tendons.
- When lying down, it is helpful to place the sandbag on your thighs.
- For intensive breathing awareness, you can place the sandbag on your stomach.
The sandbag from YOGISTAR has a practical handle and a dart so that it can be folded up (this also doubles the volume). It is filled with quartz sand and covered with robust cotton. All details about the TriYoga sandbag are summarized for you in the product description.

FAQ
When is a yoga bolster used?
Yoga bolsters are great for supporting you in certain asanas. This way, you can make certain poses more comfortable for yourself or stretch even deeper thanks to the bolster. Some large yoga bolsters are also suitable for sitting.
What are yoga bolsters made of?
For maximum comfort and a pleasant feeling on the skin, we use robust and easy-care cotton for our yoga cushions and bolsters. The filling consists of either spelt husks or kapok.
What is the difference between a yoga bolster and a yoga cushion?
Yoga cushion is basically the general term for cushions that are used for yoga practice. The term yoga bolster usually refers to yoga cushions with a special, elongated shape that is particularly helpful for support in various asanas. They are less often used as a seat cushion - meditation cushions are ideal for this.
Is a yoga bolster also suitable for beginners?
Although yoga bolsters are often used to deepen a pose, they can also be a useful addition for beginners. Their main feature is that they provide support in various poses, which is why they are not only useful for reinforcing stretches, but also as support to prevent overstretching. For example, a yoga bolster can be used wonderfully to slowly and comfortably get into a split.
