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).

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.

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!

This pillow is excellent for final relaxation. Aids in opening the chest very nicely. I also like the fact that the cover is removable so it is easy to launder.
