Challenge Your Fitness Routine With Yoga Balls

We all need a yoga ball. At home. On the job. In class.

Yoga balls are versatile and fun exercise tools that, despite their name, can be applied to so much more than the practice of yoga. You’ll find them a regular fixture in fitness classes, rehabilitation centers and gyms. They’re just as effective for core training in pilates, and will leave you with a stronger and firmer abdomen, back and butt.

Such balls vary in size, but they are all strong enough to support an average person’s body weight. At YogaDirect.com, we stock a wide variety that can accommodate different heights and needs.

Our traditional yoga balls are made of a resilient vinyl that can handle up to 600 pounds of pressure. The balls are available from 55 to 85 centimeters, in increments of 10. The large ones are comfortable for tall yogis (6 to 6 feet, 5 inches, and maybe even taller!). Each order comes with a free foot pump.

We also carry yoga balls made of a thicker material that resists bursting if they are punctured. These balls are ideal for studios that have heavy usage of their equipment or certain fitness classes that incorporate a lot of active movement and weights. Each of these anti-burst slow leak balls arrives with a foot pump. Like the traditional versions, they also come in four different sizes to suit many heights.

Thera-Band Exercise Balls can be used for exercise, but are specially designed for rehabilitation. They help strengthen the muscles that support good posture, which in turn eases back pain. We carry these balls in sizes as small as 45 centimeters and as big as 85 centimeters.

Give yourself a challenging workout with the Dome Yoga Ball, a deceptively simple-looking piece of equipment that will leave your abs sore in a good way! Pick the version with straps for an additional upper-body workout. A pump is included.

Our line of equipment also includes accessories such as a hand pump; Balance Cushions, which you place on a regular chair to encourage good posture and tone abs; and Thera-Band Stability Trainers, oval-shaped, color-coded pads designed for progressive balance training. If you need extra help keeping your ball stable or in place, pick up the Yoga Ball Balance Base, which is made of sturdy plastic and easy to assemble. This is ideal for those who want to use their yoga balls at work.

Who knew one ball could do so much?
