The Yoga rules

By Jay Freeman

No yoga enthusiast wants to be left behind when it comes to yoga supplies and yoga equipment. From bags to mats, this article reveals the top 3 necessities for practitioners of yoga.

The Mat

When it comes to yoga supplies and yoga equipment, the yoga mat is far and away the most important item you'll need for practicing yoga. Mats come in a variety of styles and prices. A particularly popular style is known as a "sticky mat" that holds a firm grip to the floor to ensure proper balance and safety.

The Bag

After choosing your yoga mat, you'll be wishing for something stylish to carry it in. The second "must-have" in yoga supplies and yoga equipment is the yoga bag. Choose a bag that is durable enough to toss in the backseat of the car, yet stylish enough to carry with you anywhere. One popular style of yoga bag has separate compartments for personal belongings, a cell phone and your yoga mat.

The Blocks

Yoga blocks, foam wedges for increasing reach and improving form, are essential items when it comes to yoga supplies and yoga equipment. The best yoga blocks are durable enough to withstand long workouts, but light enough to toss in a bag and carry with ease.

As you shop for yoga accessories, find the best quality items that suit your budget. Remember to look beyond appearances when selecting yoga supplies and yoga equipment, as safety and comfort should be your first priorities.
