Yoga props and why you want them

As a yoga teacher and student I have found that championing yoga props for all students and practitioners is more important than ever. Very often , students believe that because they are young or healthy or strong or in good shape or usually very flexible that all poses should be available to them in their practice. This just is not always the case. Bodies are all very different and therefore yoga poses are not one size fits all. This false belief is reinforced daily with influencers showing off their easy access to challenging poses and not showing the work and dedication necessary to achieve these poses.

It is important for practitioners to remember that the size and proportions of their frame is different from the practitioner next to them and that there are, more often than not, idiosyncrasies within our musculature we are not even aware of for our whole lives.

Props can be a tool to help practice and achieve challenging poses, but more importantly, they are implements to create a safe way for bodies to find comfort in reaching a pose. Learning to listen to your own body is so important in creating a healthy sustainable practice.

I have compiled a list of props and tools that I love and depend on in my practice and urge you to give them a try. Some days I need them, some days I want them, and some days I don’t need them at all.

Cork Yoga Blocks - I use cork yoga blocks for when I need active support. This is usually in the more challenging warrior poses, such as Warrior 3. They are also handy as light weights in ab exercises like boat pose. Cork blocks are much sturdier and have less give than their foam counterpart, but both are important. You can find some beautiful ones here.

Or if you’re looking for something a bit more budget friendly to get started - grab one or two of these

Foam Yoga Blocks - Foam blocks are preferable in passive instances. I love to use my foam block in supported fish pose and supported bridge. They have a slight give that makes them much more comfortable. I also use them to sit on in some poses and exercises. Many people use them in sukhasana (easy seat pose) because the added inches alleviates some pressure in their hips, knees or ankles. Please be kind to your joints! (You can also find them in skinny versions. If you are small framed, this can make fish pose so much more comfortable.) Honorable mention that I use foam blocks to find stability in camel pose by squeezing one between my thighs and using two to bring the ground up closer. I have a lot of yoga blocks.

Here are some of my favorites.

These are a great pair of the narrow ones!

Yoga Bolster - Everyone loves their bolster but what is it really for? My favorite use for the bolster is as support in training to get into Bhekasana (frog pose). This is one of my favorite poses and it alleviates a great deal of pressure and stress in the lower back. But it took time and work to find comfort in the pose.

Check out these gorgeous and sturdy bundles and save.

This one is the first one I ever bought and I still have it and use it on occasion (it’s especially comfy for some kundalini kriyas).

Yoga Strap - There are countless poses that are just awkward to find. Or sometimes, seriously, your arms are just not long enough. I use my strap for so many things, especially stretching my hamstrings. IT band and Psoas. As a training tool I found it most useful as an extension for dancer pose (natarajasana). Balance is not my strong suit. So in training for a pose like dancer it helps to be able to focus on practicing balance in the pose without having to focus on extension in multiple places. The learning process for some poses, at least for me, is better broken down into parts.

I have a this strap in which the extra loops help immensely with some poses.

But I also have the sturdier more traditional one which I use the majority of the time and you will find in most studios. They can be found here.

Yoga InversionBench - Everybody thinks yoga benches are cool but, I’m telling you their usefulness cannot be overstated. If you can, please-please-please, buy one. They will be a game changer in your practice. They give you the ability to work muscles that you have never worked before. If you want to accomplish inversion safely, you must start here. So many people injure their neck or spine trying to do hand/headstands without preparing their core for movement it hasn’t attempted since early childhood, if ever. Plus, there are variations for just about every pose that you can use a yoga bench for. And they’re fun! I have this one and I use it daily.

Yoga Wheel - It will come as no surprise that yoga wheels are great for training your back to do back-bends like, obviously, wheel pose or camel (a favorite struggle of mine). Grab one from Yoga Design Lab - use this link and spend $95 and you’ll get a free Black Mandala Cork Wheel (worth $68 regularly).

Yoga Mat - It’s really important to find the right yoga mat for you and your practice. Do you practice hot yoga, do you practice yin, what kind of support do you need, do you carry it far? Many factors should be taken into account. But most importantly, it should be a Yoga Mat. I have seen so many people slip and slide around on mats that were not made for yoga and it causes injuries and unnecessary challenges. Shop around and find what’s best for you and your practice - Here are some great places to check out

Looking for beauty and quality click this little link

Looking for a huge selection this is your spot. Gaiam is always reliable. And this lovely company has a great selection if you’re looking for simple and sustainable.

Yoga Clothes - A no-brainer, of course. You know you want to be comfortable and in something with give, that breathes, and we all want to look presentable. But let me tell you, for me, a yoga jumpsuit was the best purchase I ever made. No more finding ways to pull up my leggings in the middle of a pose. No more putting my boobs back where they belong. When you find a good one (or 5) your comfort level in class and alone will change dramatically. My favorite by is the Space Dye Uplevel MIDI jumpsuit from beyond yoga but I want them all and I’m working on it but check out Beyond Yoga’s selection

Can you believe it’s practically October!?! ⁣ ⁣ I am finally taking the necessary steps to find some balance in my life. This next month is going to be crazy while I make all the shifts and changes I need to but once November comes I’m planning to have a grasp on it all. ⁣ ⁣ I kept waiting for things to balance themselves out but it didn’t seem to be happening haha so I decided to make the change for myself. 2021 is my year of boundaries. I am a yes person, I don’t like confrontation but because of that it has cost me my own peace and sanity. Life is too short for that! ⁣ ⁣ How about you!? Anything new and exciting happening in your life? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣#wildthingpose #wildyogisoutside #wildthings #yogashapes #yogastudent #onebreatheatatime #mindfulmovement #onandoffthemat #makingshapes #yogisofinstagram #myyogajourney #myyogapractice #yogaforeverybody #barefootgirl #findingbalance (at Veterans Oasis Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUaT5f0lWdu/?utm_medium=tumblr
