Accoutrements of Yoga, part 3
PROPS
Blocks, Straps, Balls and Bowls
OH MY
so many toys to play with!
Blocks are essential for building up your mad yoga skills!
You and your yoga block will soon be enjoying BFF status. Blocks help out in so many poses; Triangle, Half Moon, Pigeon and more, they help you reach the floor (or not) balancing out the body. Even just sitting allowing your hips to open in a more relaxed position.
Strap on, strap off - Straps are like the "go, go gadget arms" of Yoga. Can't reach your toes, grab your strap, loop it around feet and Ta DA! You CAN reach your toes. Happy Baby, Tree, Hip Openers, Shoulder openers. Your strap is an extension of you, and is also useful to hold up my pants when Yoga makes my clothes fall off.
Balls are empowering, opening and expansive. Mine are blue, and I grab them often.
Placing the balls up and down my spine, lifting my legs into the air, scooping up from the tip of my tailbone. Oh yeah baby, balls rock.
