Yoga Straps — An Illustrated Practice and Teaching Guide
Explore 20 practical ways to bring a yoga strap into your practice and teaching.

A yoga strap can make a familiar posture more accessible, bring a foot within reach, or help you notice how your body moves. Knowing where to place it, how much tension to use, and when to adjust it makes the accessory more useful.

Created by Rahmi Diomande for Rahmi Yoga School, this 31-page illustrated manual offers practical guidance for using straps in personal practice and yoga classes. Illustrations inspired by Rahmi accompany all 20 techniques, helping you connect the written instructions with the position being demonstrated.

Inside the manual, you will find:

• Guidance on choosing a strap, adjusting its length, and using common fastenings.
• Twenty techniques covering shoulders, upper body, legs, seated postures, chair yoga, standing balance, bridge, and supported rest.
• Instructions for setting up, moving, and releasing the strap.
• Alignment guidance and explanations of the muscles that may work or stretch.
• More accessible options, common mistakes, and practical teaching cues.
• Safety considerations, consent guidance, and troubleshooting suggestions.
• Three sample sequences: a gentle 20-minute practice, a 20-minute chair practice, and a varied 30-minute practice.
• Personal practice and instructor observation worksheets.
• Review questions with suggested answers.

Who is this manual for?

Yoga students can use it to explore strap variations at their own pace. Teachers and trainees can draw on its demonstrations, adaptations, and lesson-planning ideas when preparing classes.

The approach encourages comfortable movement, steady breathing, and individual choice. Bent knees, smaller movements, longer straps, and chair options are presented as useful ways to practise.
