PRACTICEYOGA STRAP: Yoga straps are pretty standard as well. They
should be approximately as long as you are tall or even
longer. Make sure there is a metal or plastic attachment
on one end that allows you to make an adjustable loop.
BOLSTER: This is like a giant, superfirm pillow. These are
great for relaxing or restorative poses. Of course, you can
also just use a pillow or two to get the same effect.
BLANKET: Yoga blankets are usually made of wool and
are pretty strong and durable. They have many different
uses, but again, you can improvise by using any blanket
you have around the house.Setting Up Your Space
After you have all the essentials you might need, you’ll want
to set up your yoga space:
- Lay down your mat.
- Place your props close by.
- Keep the blocks at the front of the mat and put
everything else to the side.
When you’re finished practicing, roll up your mat and
put it away. If your space is limited like mine, use a basket
or other container to hold your mat and all your props. Keep
everything together and store it conveniently so you’re ready
to practice again tomorrow.
Once you’ve got your mat laid out and you’re dressed in
your yoga clothes, it’s time to relax.
