Bonnie in CO comments on our horse:

"Wow -- I am speechless before this work of art. Every detail has been lovingly seen-to, every inch of the horse is smooth as silk and the wood is exquisite -- and exquisitely worked. The horse is sturdy and elegant at the same time, and so easy to put together. My husband and I had the horse up and working in ten minutes and each piece fit every other piece like a glove. "

Scott in CA comments on our horse:

"I've set up the break-down version horse in 15 countries for my world-class rock star client and it's still as stable as the solid version back at my studio. We're headed out for another world tour and we're taking the horse with us."

"I am absolutely thrilled with my tressler! It is incredibly beautiful and looks like a piece of modern art as it graces my studio space.

I've been a yoga practitioner since the late '60's and teaching for more than 15 years. An auto accident a few years ago severely limited my practice and recovery has been slow. From the first day using the tressler, I found that my balance, extention, and ability to maintain the integrity of each asana much improved...I have renewed hope for even further improvements in the future.

Assembly was simple and even though it is heavy enough to provide the stability needed for asana practice, I find I can still easily slide the tressler against the wall when not in use.

Aside from building props of the highest quality, Custom Yoga Props provides wonderful communications at every stage of the construction process and the best of customer service. I would recommend anyone considering an investment in quality yoga equipment to purchase from Custom Yoga Props....you will be glad you did!"

Namaste to BKS Iyengar, originator of the yoga prop

“Props are guides for self learning, they help accurately without mistakes… props are meant to give a sense of direction, alignment and understanding of the asana…
props are useful to increase flexibility, stamina, correct breathing with alertness, they remove sorenes and recovery from fatigue is fast, they help to revive 100% action without physical fatigue.”
