The Kakaos Difference

The Kakaos Difference

For over twenty-five years, Kakaos has developed yoga bolsters that studios, teachers, and students trust. In the past, bolsters were heavy, overpacked pillows that offered little guidance and came in only round and rectangular styles, and they were designed mostly with men in mind. Some of those oversized bolsters are still around, but yoga bolsters have since evolved to meet real-world needs and now suit all body types, men and women alike.

In the late 1990s, working with several yoga studios, we redesigned the width of our rectangular bolster, reducing it from a very large 12 inches to a more manageable 11 inches and later offering a 10-inch option. This small change made a big difference: the narrower size conformed better to the smaller frames of most students, and today smaller bolsters are more popular than ever.

Today, Kakaos yoga bolsters are made in almost a dozen sizes and shapes to fit every yoga need. From the mini to the studio model, they are lighter and more ergonomically designed.
