many yoga students, the idea of using a prop to help them achieve or stay in a yoga pose seems like cheating. Props are not a sign of weakness, but part of an intelligent evolving practice. Here is our guide on yoga props for beginners- we will discover the best yoga equipment and how they can help your practice become more enjoyable.
Yoga is an incredible practice because there’s always further you can go. You can always get more flexible, stronger, and more balanced. A block or strap can help you increase those elements but eventually removing it is very important for growth within your practice. Yoga props are there to support your body as well as offering a supportive way for your body to move and to practice honestly and openly. Some days you may feel as stiff as a board and may not be able to access a shape or range of motion you did days or weeks before. Maybe on other days you want to take a more restorative approach to your practice- props are great for that!
