"When Laura gave me a sample of the Yogawrap Spinal Support during a retreat in Sanibel Island, I immediately showed it to my guests and had them try it out. Almost all my guests wanted to buy one immediately. The same thing happened when I brought it back home to my studio and completely sold out the first batch. In general, I do not sell props to my students, but this is one I definitely I will have on hand for a long time.
Apart from its practical use for the car and the desk, the Yogawrap is an extremely intelligently designed and beautifully made prop which helps promote a deeper understanding of the relationship between the upper chest, upper pectoral, upper thoracic spine, trapezium and neck muscles in order to achieve the correct action in the Yoga poses while simultaneously strengthening and opening that area. One can see the thought and carefulness that Laura has put into developing this product and I highly recommend it."

"After a double mastectomy, my posture changed. my chest slumped inward, my shoulders rounded and I began to hunch. Using the Yogawrap Spinal Support while driving to treatments brought me pain relief and restored the energy through adjusting my posture."

The Yogawrap is a firm, comfortable tube providing support and lift for your torso. Traditional car seats are poorly designed and cause the body to cave in and sink on top of itself. Lumbar pillows make the problem even worse, by supporting this over-arched muscle memory and a protruding gut. What the Yogawrap does is give the lift that the body needs and uses the design of the chair to accomplish this.
To alleviate car seat discomfort, wrap the Yogawrap around your car seat with the tube facing front, so that when you sit back it is directly behind your sternum. The immediate affect will be an opening of the chest creating a passive increase in oxygen. This is intensified when you buckle your seat belt, as well as the slight pull of the shoulders back.

With more oxygen coming into ourselves, we will have more energy and awareness. Two attributes to have on a long drive. The strap holds the Yogawrap into place for those that are in and out of the car a lot too.
Those suffering from digestive issues understand the increase in pressure on long drives or flights. The Yogawrap gives your digestive organs the space they need to function properly.
The lift of weight off the lower back will provide immediate relief from lumbar compression, and all of the maladies that come along with that, such as numbness in the legs and hands.

Because our lymph glands are located behind our ears and the front of our armpits, the Yogawrap stimulates these glands that are so vital to maintaining a healthy immunity. Especially, when you strap your seat belt across your chest, it will insist the shoulders back even more. Our health is the core function to everything we do in our lives.
Because our muscles maintain a memory, over time, your body will 'remember' the balanced alignment that the yogawrap maintains even when you're not using it. When the body is in balance, it will function at its best.
