I spent 10 years believeing that using yoga props was a sign of weakness, that it meant that I "wasn't good enough" to be doing yoga. Now I never practice without props and here are my top ten reasons why!
It Enhances Flexibility: Props help extend your reach, allowing you to access poses that might otherwise be challenging for you during class.
They Support Proper Alignment: Blocks and bolsters help you maintain alignment, reducing the risk of injury and improving the effectiveness of the pose.
Deepens Stretches Safely: By providing support, yoga props allow you to safely deepen your stretches without placing excessive strain on muscles or joints.
Reduces Strain & Prevents Injury: Using props minimizes strain on muscles, allowing you to hold poses longer and progress safely.
Increases Stability: Blocks provide extra stability in balancing poses, helping you feel grounded and confident. i.e. Less wobble!
Promotes Relaxation: Bolsters are perfect for restorative and pregnancy yoga, supporting the body in a way that promotes deep relaxation and reduces tension.
Adapts Poses to Your Needs: Props allow for customized practice, making yoga accessible to all levels and body types.
Builds Strength Gradually: Props enable you to practice challenging poses with assistance, helping to build strength over time without overwhelming your muscles.
Encourages Mindfulness: By supporting your body, props allow you to focus on your breath and mental state rather than struggling with the pose itself.
Improves Accessibility: Props make yoga accessible to everyone, including beginners, seniors, or individuals with mobility issues, allowing them to enjoy a fulfilling practice.
