Yoga Equipment
Yoga equipment or "props" as they are sometimes
called are items that are designed to help you get the most out of your
workout. They can be as simple as a pillow for meditation, or can be
manufactured items to aid in specific poses or stretches. Videos and
DVDs are also included as equipment.
Basic yoga equipment will include a mat and appropriate clothing. Beyond
this there are many accessories available. Straps and ropes are used
for stretching and blocks can be used for making poses easier. Other
props include benches, blankets, and sandbags.
The cost of yoga equipment is relatively low when compared to other
forms of exercise. Many items can actually be made at home for almost
no money at all. This is one reason for the popularity of yoga.
