Test result preview
The yoga strap from Body & Mind is an extremely versatile aid that can be used not only for yoga exercises, but also for a variety of other sports such as Pilates or gymnastics. Its reliability and versatility make it a valuable support for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
The robust and non-slip nature of the yoga strap ensures safe use and makes it a durable and stable companion during training. Made from 95% cotton, a natural raw material, the yoga strap also scores highly in terms of sustainability.
However, there is also one point of criticism: the yoga belt is made in China, which is unfortunately not particularly sustainable or environmentally friendly.

For our product test, the yoga belt from Body & Mind was delivered in a neutral shipping box, which was in perfect condition and could be opened without any problems. Inside the box, the product was wrapped in plastic film. From our point of view, this plastic film seemed unnecessary and could have been replaced by a more environmentally friendly alternative.
The yoga belt itself was rolled up and placed in paper packaging . The packaging had a minimalist design, with the product name and the brand logo as the only imprints. Both the packaging and the yoga belt made a high-quality impression and were in very good condition.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.2 stars. In some cases, the fact that the yoga belt is made in China is criticised. On the other hand, the elegant and functional design and high stability are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant and functional design of the yoga belt is well received by customers. Consumer criticism of the country of manufacture of the Yogagurt is also justified.
Prices of up to €11.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €6.99 . The yoga belt from Body & Mind® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €8.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
