"The Hasta Pada Belt is a investment in an invaluable therapeutic and empowering yoga tool that is by far the best yoga belt every developed. Helena's understanding of the yoga body as a trained nurse, yoga teacher and her own experience in freeing her lower back and heart energy led to the development of the "hasta pada belt". Highly recommended for yoga lovers everywhere."

Karendayal The Hasta Pada Yoga Belt is an amazing sacred transformational tool. From the first moment I saw it~it was love at first sight! It allows you to find your own divine alignment, then continue to keep that good alignment while enjoying the opening process without the fumble or struggle. You just loop yourself in and stay in the flow! Hasta Pada Belt is so versitile, it is a "must have" along your journey to freeing your physical body and opening your heart to the rasa filled love current that is waiting to bust a move! Gracious pranams to you Helena for creating such a beautiful and useful yoga prop for all to enjoy!

Debbie "This belt is finally a prop that is useful, versatile, nice to look at. It will look nice next to my Ralph Lauren belts (ha ha)... I have shared this belt with a number of yoga instructors in NJ and everyone is really excited about it. The quality and the color are great. Hasta pada belt's versatility is great and the fact that I don't have to waste time trying to make the right size loop and then having it slip, for my asanas is a real benefit. I started with dhanrasana which is the primary use of the belt and went deeper with more alignment than on my own. Then I started playing and even was able to put the loops on my arms and use it for a supported cataranga--ok, football players won't be able to do this one. I have never been a big supporter of props, however feel that this beautiful belt/strap, belongs in every yogi/yoginis wardrobe!!!"

I love my hasta pada yoga belt and use it almost everyday to deepen my practice and better experience a multitude of postures. In addition to teaching and practicing Vinyasa styles of yoga, I stay active by running, spinning and weight lifting. I am plagued by tight hamstrings and old back injuries. This yoga belt slips on quickly and easily during theflow so I can use it without interruption to my practice. I am often asked where I got such a practical and sturdy belt, and I direct my students to the website. The belt is a lifesaver (or at least a "thigh saver"), and I recommend it to anyone who wishes to experience a deeper opening in their yoga practice.

Twee "It's the sukha (ease and receptivity) in the sthira (steadiness and activation) of your practice.  Why not allow this strap to enhance what you already know as your truth in range so that you can express more deeply into your form and freedom!"

"The Hasta Pada Yoga Belt is an amazingly innovative, creative, and beautiful new yoga produc tthat can help many students achieve yoga poses otherwise inaccessible. I especially like using it for the advanced backbend, Padangustha Dhanurasana,which is awkward, if not impossible to maintain good alignment with conventional belts. But with Hasta Pada Yoga Belt you can really work on deepening the pose safety. I think every student would benefit from adding this tool to their yoga "toy box"."

"Helena brilliantly designed this functional, creatively useful + innovative belt for the spectrum of yogis.  Whether you are working deeper into advanced poses or need assistance in the fundamentals, the Hasta Pada Belt meets your needs."
Sarah Tomson, MPT, RYT www.balancedbeingyoga.com
"The Hasta Pada belt is truly ingenious.  Yoga belts are a great tool to find alignment and go deeper in asana, and this belt takes the work out of wrestling  to try to find the proper grip.  The permanent loops, when wrapped over a hand or foot, stay secure and comfortable.  Why didn't anyone think of this before now?!   I'm glad Vyana did."

Tracy "The Vyana belt is an extremely innovative yoga prop. I found so many ways in which to use it for my practice and my students. This  belt is made well. It grabs where you need support and the fabric its made from is extremely high quality. If you're in the market for a wonderful new prop, this is a winner!"
