You do not need to buy anything to start yoga. Everyday items can make poses more comfortable and supported.
- Folded blanket or towel: padding under your knees in cat–cow, or under your hips when sitting.
- Firm cushion: sit on its edge for cross-legged poses, or rest your forehead on it in child’s pose.
- Thick books: instead of yoga blocks, to bring the floor closer.
- A belt or scarf: instead of a strap, to reach your feet in stretches.
- A wall: for balance in standing poses.
- A sturdy chair: for seated yoga or support.
Choosing a space
A space the length of your body and a non-slip surface is enough. Bare feet help you grip the floor.
