Sticky yoga mats are best, you can also use a

stand on some prefer to do yoga on a cotton

yoga surface.

2. Yoga Blocks
These foam blocks are used to modify poses,
essentially bringing the floor closer to your
hands to enable you to maintain proper alignment,
which is much more important than how far you
stretch. You may also sit on the edge of a block
to properly align your pelvis during seated poses.

3. Yoga Strap
This is a thick cotton strap, similar to a Judo
belt and is used to assist the yogi in
challenging postures most often used for hip
opening poses and seated forward bends. Straps
are also used for bound poses. The strap is held
in the hands and usually wrapped around the foot,
essentially acting as an arm extension. You can
purchase straps at many yoga studios, online or
you can use a belt or a scarf.

4. Yoga Bolster
Bolsters are cylindrical cushions about two feet
long, usually filled with cotton. Bolsters are
used for forward bending poses, for many
restorative yoga poses, and as modification for
certain relaxation poses. You can purchase yoga
bolsters online, many yoga studios will have
bolsters available, and may be able to order them
for you if there are no yoga supply retailers in
your area.

5. Meditation Cushion
A zafu or meditation cushion is not necessary but
it is a nice item to have, sitting on the edge of
the zafu is ideal for proper pelvic alignment and
ease of posture when meditating. If you do not
have a zafu, a firm cushion or pillow will work
as well.
