A brand-new yoga accessory has arrived. Designed by Gabriella McMahon the founder of G.M. YOGA, you cannot buy these anywhere else. If you are a yoga strap user, your practice will now be made easier, and you will no longer get left behind in your flow class. Unlike the cumbersome yoga strap, you wear the Yoga Band throughout your practice; on your ankle, arm or both.

Simply wear it and stretch it to the desired length, then simply swap it onto the opposite limb for postures on the other side (or wear two – one on your right and one on your left side). In addition, the Yoga Band does not have to be confined to just Yoga stretches. The Yoga Band can be utilised for any activity where you may want to stretch but need a little help with reach i.e. in the gym after training.

The Yoga Band is made from top end soft textile - and manufactured by a global supplier who supplies textile for apparel companies like Victoria Secrets, Adidas, Nike, M&S etc, and the health industry around the world.

Gabriella says “During my time teaching, I observed how participants who needed to use a yoga strap during their practice, sometimes got left behind a little bit during a Flow or Vinyasa class - with the whole palaver of stopping mid-flow, to locate their strap, then to loop it, and put it round their toe, foot, or to bind etc - by which time, the rest of the class had moved onto the next posture/flow.

So, whilst doing what a lot of us did during the COVID pandemic, I did a lot of thinking and got creative. I thought; wouldn't it be so much easier if somehow, there was something that could work better than the yoga strap that yogis are so familiar with? An alternative! I had a eureka moment and came up with the idea of the Yoga Band.

A small, and much less cumbersome alternative to the yoga strap. It can be worn around the ankle, arm or both, so no fear of stopping mid flow to stop and get your strap and go through the whole scenario of looping etc etc”.

The Yoga Band has resistance, which give better alignment, so there is less slackness between arms and legs. It has three loops, so can be adapted to suit however much stretch/length a participant requires. The Yoga Band may not be suitable for everyone, but it is a great alternative if you just require a little bit more stretch length. Why not give it a try?

Rachael Coleman-Vaughan who owns The Yoga Barn Longwood Farm says “I've been teaching yoga for 12 years and this little yoga band makes a BIG difference! Making binds and deep stretches more accessible. The three settings are perfect to take you to YOUR edge. The more you wear it, the more you'll use it. No more faffing and lassoing yourself with the big, long yoga straps with buckles hitting you in the face! This is perfect prop to improve your practise, me and my students LOVE it”!
