Yoga Bolster: Your gentle support for deep moments of letting go
An Origo bolster is far more than just a firm cushion. It's a precision-crafted tool that supports you where your body needs opening and release. In our Allgäu workshop, we produce bolsters whose shape retention and tactile quality make all the difference in your restorative or yin yoga practice.
The Anatomy of Relaxation
- Handcrafted quality: Every seam is designed for durability. We use robust natural materials that retain their shape even after years of intensive use.
- Local production: As with all our products, the peace and clarity of the Allgäu region flows into the production – for a product that has a soul.
Adjustable firmness: Organic spelt husks inside
The heart of our bolsters is the filling made of high-quality organic spelt husks.
- Individual ergonomics: You can adjust the amount of filling via the integrated zipper in the inner lining. Do you prefer gentler support for your lower back? Simply remove some filling. Do you need maximum height for a heart-shaped opening? Leave it fully filled.
- Precise support: Unlike synthetic fillings, spelt husks give way only minimally and yet adapt smoothly to your contours.
Aesthetics & Haptics: A haven of calm in your room
Our bolsters are designed so that they don't have to disappear into a cupboard.
- Timeless design: Clear, cylindrical or flat shapes in a color palette that exudes naturalness – from deep slate grey to soft earth tones.
-
Skin-friendly covers: We use natural materials that feel pleasant and temperate even in direct skin contact – no sweating, no rustling, just peace and quiet.
Areas of application: Where your bolster shines
| focus | Exercise (Example) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Heart opening | Supported fish | It gently expands the rib cage and deepens the breathing. |
| Relief | Below the knees (Savasana) | It relieves pressure on the lower back and lumbar vertebrae. |
| Grounding | Child's Pose (Balasana) | The bolster under your belly makes you feel safe and secure. |
Origo's tip: Combine your bolster with one of our wool yoga mats. The combination of the soft sheep's wool and the stable support of the bolster creates a space where your nervous system can immediately switch into relaxation mode.
