PROPS: What To Bring

In Person Classes:

~2 Blocks

~1 Yoga Mat

~1 Yoga strap (or belt)

Online Classes:

~2 Blocks

~3-4 Blankets (or tight woven fleece blankets/or large beach towels)

~2 Pillows

~1 Yoga strap (or belt)

~Zoom & Spotify Playlists provided 1 hr before online class:

*Spotify works best when played on a different device than the one you watch Zoom through. Also, I believe if you have a subscription, the songs play in order. If not, they may play randomly. Check the playlist in advance--play the first song and make sure no green arrows are selected at the bottom.

Why I love & suggest blocks or block substitutes.  It allows the ground to rise up to meet you where you are & helps you to open more fully into the pose with good alignment.  (suggestion/not required). 

Below is a noticeable demonstration of how the props work so that we can open the chest, invite shoulders away from ears,  keep our spines long, and prevent spinal rounding.   The last photo on the right demonstrates without props how the spine wants to round.

*Please consider investing in some props for yourself. Yoga Direct offers yoga props at affordable prices. Two blocks; a strap; and a few blankets and you are all set for a supportive practice and a cozy comfortable restorative practice.
