In its simplest form a yoga strap simply makes your arms longer. This particular prop is the easiest to substitute with household items, pet leashes, old ties, etc. “Proper” yoga straps can help us “bind” our bodies. They can help you move deeper into poses, build strength, and protect your muscles from injury by providing additional support and stability. Not only that, but yoga straps in their variety of lengths, widths and fabrics are incredibly versatile, allowing you to customize your practice to suit your needs.
