At Home Props: Creative Ways of Deepening Your Personal Yoga Practice

In life, without a specific device or required implement, activities could not be carried out in any particular fashion effectively. From fixing a car, to washing clothes, tools are what makes an activity feasible and accessible. In Yoga, props are essential practice tools that can render yoga asanas or postures more available to the practitioner’s physical, emotional, and mental capabilities and needs during a class. In a typical yoga studio, you will see an abundance of yoga props to use during a class such as blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets. Unfortunately, many people do not practice yoga at home consistently or at all because they do not have access to specific yoga studio props. In this class, we will explore the available options at home to cultivate a personalized yoga routine that will not break the bank or require additional room for storage. While keeping availability and accessibility as the main focus for a home yoga practice, adding functionality with individualized creativeness will present greater opportunities for people to practice yoga in the comfort of their own home.
