Materials & Choosing The Best Roller for Your Body

Materials for your Roller Session

• 36" Long Medium or Soft Density Roller*
• Yoga Mat
• Pillow  

*Need a foam roller??  I recommend OPTP Brand therapeutic grade rollers with a matte finish, which grip the tissue nicely.  
(Note: Orders can take a week!) 

•  6”x36” OPTP Medium/Standard  density roller --feels fairly firm, and has good grip, will break in over time
•  4”x36" OPTP Medium OR  Soft  density roller -- smaller 4" diameter, softer while still more solid.  great for legs.
•  6”x36”OPTP  Soft Density roller -- plush & squishy soft roller if you are sensitive and want a gentle ride
• can be ordered direct from OPTP or Amazon.
• they are all great and can have different effects on the body. I have them all and use them for different purposes
• if you have a firm black roller, I recommend considering a softer one​

NOTE:  If you haven't received your roller in time for the first class, we can use 2 - 3 rolled towels or a yoga mat in the shape of a 3 foot long roller.  You'll want to secure the towels or yoga mat  with 3 or 4 rubber bands so they hold their shape. (Go to  below video @ 5:30 to see how to make your temporary roller.)
