Why Yoga props are great to incorporate in your Yoga practice

Incorporating yoga props into your practice can be a great way to add comfort and stability to your poses. Props can help you find the correct alignment in a pose, allowing you to experience the full benefits of each posture. They can also allow for more creative variations, providing an opportunity for exploration and growth. Props can also used to assist in finding more ease in postures, making poses accessible and restorative as well. By using props, you can deepen your understanding of each pose and gain greater insight into your body's capabilities. With the right yoga props, you can make every practice session more enjoyable and beneficial for you!
There are multiple props you can use to explore in your practice. These are the most common props typically used.
- Blocks - sit on, balance, core work, and prop under your hands or feet
- Strap - stretch, create or deepen binds
- Bolster - support you in postures making them more restorative
- Blanket- create cushion for the joints, cover up with, or roll up under as support
Props are for everyone and are the best way to elevate your practice, rather you want a more heated practice or cooler practice. So next time you hit the mat, make sure to bring some props along and give them a try!
