Bloom Elastic Stretching Yoga Strap

The Bloom elastic stretching yoga strap is a stretch strap with six loops along its length. You hook a hand or foot into whichever loop gives you the reach you need, so changing the length takes a second and there’s no buckle to fiddle with.

It’s 110cm long and 3.7cm wide, and weighs 127g. The fabric is 87% nylon, 12% polyester and 1% elastane, which gives the strap a little elastic give. You can use it for yoga, Pilates or general stretching.

How to use it

Lie on your back, put one foot into an end loop and hold a loop higher up with both hands. Straighten the leg towards the ceiling for a hamstring stretch, then let it open out to the side. To go further, move your hands to a loop closer to your foot.

Sitting with your legs out in front, put both feet into the end loop and hold a loop near your knees for a forward fold. Walk your hands down loop by loop as you lengthen. Standing, hold one loop in each hand behind your back and lift your arms away from you to open the front of your shoulders.

In Pilates, the loops make it easy to add a light pull in leg circles and side-lying leg work. Each loop sits at a fixed point, so you can come back to the same stretch next time and notice when you’re reaching a loop further along.

Who it suits

It suits people who find buckles fiddly, and anyone wanting a quick stretching routine after running or training. If you’d prefer a longer strap with a metal D-ring, see the navy 240cm yoga strap. The rest of the range is in our yoga straps.

Care

Hand wash it in cold water and hang it to dry out of direct sun. Keep it away from dryers and heaters, since heat wears out the elastic fibres faster.
