This has the same profile as the heart bench but is narrow enough to fit between the shoulder blades for a more intense opening. It is most commonly used in a restorative supine position and as specific therapy for heart patients and others who want a restorative practice. Anyone wanting less stress will enjoy using it regularly. It opens the chest and allows the shoulders to fall back creating more space for the heart to beat and the lungs to breath. Women who are menstruating or pregnant may find use with this prop as well because it offers gentle support for restorative yoga. Made from 4" thick solid maple. I save the wood with the most character for these, color and character will vary with each piece.
