Which Bolster Is Right for Me?Updated 3 hours ago

Each member of the Equa collection is designed to provide support, comfort, and versatility, but each shape serves a different purpose within your practice.

Equa Round Bolster

The Equa Round Bolster is a lightweight, traditional round bolster that provides soft cushioning and medium support.

  • Ideal for chest openers, backbends, and restorative poses
  • Traditional round shape encourages deeper opening through the front body
  • Works well under the knees, spine, or back
  • Filled with resilient fiber fill designed to maintain its shape over time

The Round Bolster is a favorite for practitioners seeking a classic restorative yoga experience.


Equa Rectangular Bolster

The Equa Rectangular Bolster is the most versatile bolster in the collection.

  • Broad, stable surface provides soft cushioning and light support
  • Ideal for restorative yoga, prenatal yoga, meditation, and relaxation
  • Easy to stack, layer, and combine with other props
  • Includes a sturdy handle for easy carrying

If you're purchasing your first bolster, the Rectangular Bolster is often the best place to start because it supports the widest variety of poses and practices.


Equa Lean Bolster

The Equa Lean Bolster offers a slimmer, lower-profile design.

  • Provides soft cushioning with light support
  • Great for targeted stretches and more precise positioning
  • Easy to combine with blocks, blankets, and other props
  • Lightweight and easy to transport

The Lean Bolster is ideal for practitioners looking for a more subtle level of support or those who prefer a less bulky bolster.


Equa Meditation Cushion

The Equa Meditation Cushion is designed specifically for seated meditation and breathwork.

  • Helps encourage natural spinal alignment
  • Reduces pressure on the hips, knees, and ankles during seated practice
  • Rounded shape gently elevates the pelvis for greater comfort during longer sitting sessions
  • Dual-sided design allows you to choose your preferred level of support:
    • One side provides softer cushioning with recycled cotton and polyester fill
    • The other offers firmer support with organic buckwheat hulls

The Meditation Cushion is best suited for seated practices rather than restorative yoga postures.
