Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I find it necessary depending on my flexibility at the moment, but you can always use a man's necktie instead! I got my strap on clearance / going out of business sale. I have another less sturdy one that I got free with a dvd box set of Rodney Yee's dvd's.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Everyone's got such great ideas. Thanks for the suggestions! My back is okay today, though most of my issues are the sciatic nerve down my leg when I'm sitting, which is why I'm seeing the specialist on Friday. Apparently, any butt/leg issues are associated with the back, and I need to find out if this is true sciatica. My regular doc gave me the go-ahead to exercise again, but I'm not going to until I see this specialist. I'm itching to start moving again - as long as it doesn't cause any future pain! Thanks for asking. :-) -Terri- On Tuesday, November 10, 2009, at 11:13AM, "Donna M-P" <donna112520@...> wrote: > Hi Terri, I use one sometimes - the need for it sort of varies depending on how flexible you are feeling. I believe the intent is to allow you to get a deeper stretch without compromising your posture/alignment. For instance, sometimes I can do a reclined hamdstring stretch by holding on to my calf and pulling my leg toward me, while still keeping a neutral spine, other times, I can't do that and the strap is helpful. Like mentioned, you don't need an "offiical" yoga strap - you can use a necktie or even a belt in place of an "offiical" yoga strap! How are you doing? How is your back?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I use it for some of my classes, but usually it is just to help the people who are less flexible with being able to get a deeper stretch. I'd say if you can touch your toes comfortably, then you don't need a yoga strap. Tonya Yoga strap? Has anyone here ever used a yoga strap? If so, how necessary is it? -Terri- ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
