Props That Support My Practice
The right props turn a yoga practice into a spa treatment. These are the ones I use every single time.
MY ESSENTIALS
Ultra-Soft Yoga Blocks
The first time I placed one under my spine in supported fish pose, I sighed out loud. Unlike hard cork blocks, these feel like they're holding you. These are soft yet firm to truly letting go.
How I Use Them:
Restorative Fish Pose: One block lengthwise along the thoracic spine and the other to support my head
Supported Forward Folds: Resting my forehead on the soft surface—instant calm
Gentle Hip Openers: Supporting my knees in reclined butterfly pose
Savasana: Under my knees so my low back rests on the floor
Yoga Sand Bags
Gentle weight anchors your nervous system in a way nothing else does. It's like a warm hand saying you can let go now. I use two 10 lb bags for hips and thighs, and two 5 lb bags for chest and forearms.
How I Use Them:
Child's Pose: Placed on my low back for that grounded, centered feeling
Restorative Twists: Adding gentle pressure on my thigh or my arm to deepen the release
Half Butterfly pose: On the crease of my hip in half butterfly, so I can ground while I forward fold
BUILD YOUR PRACTICE
Extra-Thick Yoga Mat (6mm+)
My favorite mat for Yin, Restorative and Nidra practices.
Sticky Yoga Mat
I use this for vinyasa. The non-slip surface keeps me stable through every transition and balance pose.
Yoga Bolster
I love using this for supported child's pose, twists, and gentle backbends.
Mexican Yoga Blanket
I use for padding my joints, covering up in savasana, or creating gentle elevation.
Lavender Eye Pillow
I use this for Yoga Nidra. The lavender tells my nervous system it's time to let go.
Yoga Strap
I use this for hamstring stretches and supported reclined poses.
Flameless Candles
Creates soft spa lighting - perfect for Yin, Yoga Nidra and meditation.
Yankee Candle - Sage & Citrus
My favorite scent for practice - smells like the spa.
That Spa Feeling, At Home
You know that feeling when you leave a massage — relaxed, rejuvenated, like your whole nervous system just exhaled? That's what these props give me every single time. You deserve that, too.
