Gaiam Yoga Strap for $10: If you already own a long yoga strap, you can easily make your own stand clip for temporary use – a yoga teacher recommended this to me for use during class. Everyday Yoga also sells some available optionsbut they all work basically the same. According to yoga teacher Catherine Budig: Wrap the strap around your back, just around the base of your shoulder blade or bra line, and pull the excess evenly in front of you. Bring each end over your shoulders and cross them behind you, making an X shape on your back. Move the straps to the front, pull your shoulders back and fasten it in the front. The length of strap you need depends on your body, including shoulder and chest size, but we recommend at least 10 feet. Anything less is likely to be more painful than helpful.
