TO FEEL FULLY SUPPORTED IN YOUR YOGA PRACTICE OR CLASS, WHETHER NEW TO YOGA OR A LONG-TIME PRACTITIONER, THE FOLLOWING YOGA PROPS ARE RECOMMENDED: • Yoga Mat - different from an exercise mat, a yoga mat has a slightly sticky surface with a thickness of not more than ¼’. Thicker mats will interfere with balance and grounding, and may hinder practice • Yoga Blanket - usually made from 100% cotton, and are sometimes referred to as Mexican yoga blankets; blankets are used for support beneath the hips • Yoga Blocks - a set of two 4” foam blocks is standard. Blocks are used to support legs, and are also used as ‘arm lengtheners’ • Webbed Strap with D-rings - 8’ straps are standard size, and should have double d-rings at one end of the strap. 6’ straps, and straps with plastic clip- style buckles are not recommended. 10’ straps are available for those with longer legs. • Yoga Bolster - a bolster has many uses, and is nice to have, but usually not necessary for most classes. Bolsters are primarily used for Yin and restorative classes.
