Yoga props (equipment)
Where can I buy equipment?
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. Props are our teachers.
In my classes at the Pilates Practice I have plenty of equipment available to borrow so you do not need to spend any money to get started. However if you have, or would like to buy some equipment, the standard equipment that students tend to bring and use in an Iyengar yoga class is:
1 mat
4 blocks,
2 bricks
1 blanket
Most useful is your own mat.
I can provide yoga equipment at teacher discount prices to my students at my classes, if 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
