True, the stick mobility has the middle rubbery section, and you could probably do a several more poses with it, but i'd commit to just using a plain stick first, then determine whether i'd want to go further, necessitating a stick mobility tool.

but it's a great idea.. Yoga straps were also out long before the ones that you can put your hands through the loops.. Ya,I bought that too lol when I use the yoga strap it was hard on my hands. But with the loops it's easier to get a spot and just stick your hands through the loops. I need to find my stable in exercise instead of looking around.. I need blinders..

i just looked in my closet for my BodyBlade (another fitness rabbit hole i had succumbed to) and found a really long PVC pipe leftover from a project. I saved this PVC pipe after a VFer explained how good it is to use for yoga and martial arts workouts that use a staff.
the PVC pipe is 9' tall and flexible yet strong. it's 3/4" diameter. i'll try it out with some of the Stick Mobility videos and report back.
