Yoga props help our rigid bodies find more ease and stillness in a new pose. They make poses that would otherwise be inaccessible and achievable to injured, tight, or unstretched bodies. Use props to help understand the pose and allow your body to slowly increase flexibility and improve in strength. They are like training wheels — designed to make a pose easier at first. They help you sink deeper into a stretch. If you usually use a prop in a particular pose, try going without it next time.
