In most yoga practices , even when not necessarily called for , it is useful to have some basic tools for postures that you may struggle with at the start , or if you are injured, stiff or simply not motivated.
A sturdy fold away chair , for twists and supports for back bends and shoulder stands
A yoga belt , to deepen and lengthen
A blanket for neck support and comfort
4 blocks , standing postures when it’s difficult to forward or side bend and bridges
Bolster, in supine poses to support the back and open the chest
A quality yoga mat, this is your friend
Wall, to define certain postures and stop you falling over
A clock, to time your practice
I have prepared a 10 week base practice that I will post week by week . Their are dynamic and resting postures , on alternate days . It is a daily practice over a month , which should make it a habit .
This is only a guide and does not substitute for a teacher and a class . If you have never done yoga before it is important to seek advice from a qualified person and use this only as a guide once you learn the basics.
