It keeps your head a comfortable 3" off the floor, and fits 16" and wider shoulder span. You can also use the lift as a comfortable off-the-floor meditation cushion. Folds easily for transport and storage. Instructional DVD (15 minutes) included. 19 3/4"W x 14 3/4"H x 27"D. Black. Cannot be sent FedEx due to size of this item.Gift wrap not available. "I LOVE my yoga lift. I have never been able to do a shoulder stand, headstand or a lot of the inversion poses because of the pressure on my neck. I just get out of alignment so easily. But with the Yoga Lift, I can get myself in the perfect position and hold it as long as I like comfortably." - L. Coffey, Oak Park, CA

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent core exercise, October 11, 2006

This is perfect for shoulder stands and core workouts. It's the best device I've used for core exercise and avoids impact to your neck/spine.

As a tip, It helps if you put a sandbag or something heavy on top of the bar on the floor to add stability if you try things beyond a simple should stand.

I saw it and I wanted it. I finally got one. I thought it would be fun. It is fun, but it's also more than fun. It's easy to use. It's good for developing balance and it's also very good for the back and neck.

I found that I no longer needed the wall after a little bit of practice, but if you're going to be inverted for more than 3-5 minutes, you might want to move it close.

On the practical notes - I'm a pretty big guy (200+), and it was fine for me. It came pretty much completely assembled. You'll need to move 2 kotter pins to have it all ready to go. There's a DVD that you NEED to watch before you use it. Once you've seen it, it's pretty easy to use.

This is something that you're going to use often because it is fun.

IT'S BIG FUN!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very uncomfortable, instructions not very good, October 11, 2006

I found this to be very uncomfortable and the instructions that I received were very limited. It's too bad because I really wanted to be able to do shoulder and/or headstands. I guess I have to do them the old fashioned way...go to class and get proper instructions from a certified instructor.
