Jo Cook Yoga Equipment for Iyengar Yoga

Equipment used in Iyengar Yoga

One of the defining features of Iyengar yoga is its use of props and supports in order to allow students to perform poses safely and productively within their present abilities. Props also allow students to experience aspects of the poses that may otherwise be beyond their present understanding or abilities.

The standard equipment that students tend to bring and use in an Iyengar yoga class is:

1 mat
4 blocks,
2 bricks
1 blanket

However you can get started with just a mat.

I presently have some brand new bricks for sale on eBay (excess from a wholesale order I placed for the class) this is a link to the page on eBay

I can provide yoga equipment at teacher discount prices to my students face-to-face in classes only but if this applies to you and you are interested please come and have a chat.

Alternatively the following are sources of yoga equipment - I cannot recommend any particular supplier although I am happy to talk to students about their requirements and help you understand the different types of equipment available
