#brettyoga - Yoga on the balance board das.Brett!
#brettyoga is a new, creative and varied way to practise yoga. You balance on the balance board das.Brett while performing various yoga poses (including classic yoga asanas). The trend combines the benefits of yoga with intensive balance training. At the same time, the often static yoga exercises are brought into a flowing sequence of movements and combined with balance and swinging movements. In this way, #brettyoga strengthens your core muscles, improves your flexibility and calms your mind at the same time.
#brettyoga is ideal for yoga beginners, but advanced practitioners can also take their yoga practice to a new level, as every pose on the board presents an additional challenge. Just give it a try!
Do we really need another yoga aid? - How did #brettyoga come about?
Yoga is becoming increasingly popular and many products are being given a "yoga version" to keep the industry going. For us, however, the process has developed differently. It wasn't us, TicToys, who created a yoga shape from the toy 'das.Brett'.
The yogis came to us and showed enthusiasm for our elastic balance board, because it often enables static yoga asanas to be brought into movement with balance and vibration! Little by little, the first exercises and finally a complete yoga program were created..."
How training on the board improves posture, balance and stability
das.Brett is not only a yoga aid, but also an innovative training tool that improves your posture, balance and stability. Its unique elasticity provides an unstable base for your yoga practice, resulting in intense activation of muscles you may not even have known you had. In particular, it engages muscles in the feet and legs, core and pelvic floor that are otherwise often neglected. The constant need to balance your weight slightly not only trains your fine muscles and fascia, but also strengthens your joints. This process protects them from injury in the long term.
In addition, the gentle vibrations on the springy board promote better blood circulation and relaxation of the muscles along the spine. This can help to relieve slight tension in this area.
The dynamic exercise on the board allows you to train an important basic physical skill: elasticity. This refers to the ability of your fascia to absorb, store and return external energy - an ability that is often neglected in many static-oriented yoga styles.
To get started with #brettyoga, we can highly recommend the introductory video by Andrea Pietsch, for example!
The mental benefits, such as stress reduction and improved concentration
In addition to the physical benefits, the.board also offers numerous mental advantages. Balancing on the unstable board requires a high level of concentration, which encourages you to really be in the here and now. This focus can help to calm your mind and reduce stress. In addition, das.Brett enables a new way of practicing asana. Even familiar postures such as downward-facing dog are given a dynamic component through the instability of the board, which sharpens your attention and awareness of your body.
das.Brett also brings a playful aspect to your yoga practice. Like children, we can experiment with the plank, using it crosswise or lengthwise, curved upwards or downwards. This creative freedom reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously and can help to improve our mental flexibility. Overall, das.Brett offers a unique way to experience your yoga practice in a new way, strengthening both your body and your mind.
Let's go - practical instructions for board yoga
We start with a short warm-up program. Then there are three selected exercises each for beginners and advanced students.
3 exercises for beginners
Dynamic side bend: The side bend strengthens the lateral abdominal muscles, improves core stability and promotes balance. It can also help to improve posture and helps to define the lateral abdominal muscles.
Meditation stool: das.Brett is ideal for meditation, the slightly curved shape allows you to sit upright in a heel or cross-legged position.
Seated forward bend: das.Brett is a perfect aid for the seated forward bend, especially if the backs of your thighs are shortened. Regular practice improves flexibility in the legs and back.
3 Exercises for advanced users
The goddess: das.Brett brings additional variety to your yoga practice: the goddess in vibration and balance!
The crane: As well as providing variety and fun, das.Brett also helps your wrists when practising the crane, as the angle for gripping is more favorable than on a flat yoga mat.
The boat - advanced version: For the boat, you can use das.Brett as a supportive aid if you place it in an inverted position directly behind you. The incline of the board secures your back from below. Advanced users can practise the boat on the board, as shown in this video. In contrast to the hard floor, the elasticity of the board requires additional balancing movements, which makes it more challenging but also more exciting and, above all, more effective!
the sun salutation on the balance board "das.Brett"
das.Brett gets your yoga practice flowing! Are you ready for the sun salutation? You can also find this and many more #brettyoga videos on our YouTube channel!
Which board is right for me?
Choosing the right board depends on your individual needs and your environment. At das.Brett there are no different sizes, all boards are about 90 cm long, 28 cm wide and approved for people weighing up to 120 kg. The differences lie in the design: with or without cork carpet pad and oiled or "lacquered".
If you exercise on hard floors such as tiles, parquet or laminate, we recommend the board with cork carpet pad. The cork dampens noise, protects the floor and prevents the board from slipping quickly. Even if you are planning to combine your board with der.Wackler and turn it into an indoor surfboard, you should go for das.Brett with cork strips. The two cork surfaces give you a good grip. If you want to train on soft ground or use the board outdoors, das.Brett without cork is the better choice.

With regard to the surface, we recommend the oiled board for domestic use. The natural linseed oil protects das.Brett and gives it a pleasant feel. If you plan to expose your board to more dirt or use it with many different people (disinfection issue), the lacquered version would be more suitable as it is more resistant to moisture. Ultimately, the decision depends on where and how you want to use your board. Both variants offer the same benefits in terms of balance training, stability and stress relief. It's all about choosing the one that best suits your lifestyle and needs.
