GREAT!, so you have been reading about the HEALTH benefits of practising YOGA and now you are curious and ready to give yoga a try. Perhaps you already signed up for a class in the neighbourhood. Next, you need to see what equipment is required for yoga. This article will help you choose the right accessories for beginners. What equipment do you need for yoga?
Basically, if you are attending a Yoga class you don´t need to take any equipment with you. Usually, yoga studiosprovide you with any props required during the class.
Unless it is an outdoor yoga class, where no equipment is available and you will have to bring your own. At the very least you would need a mat and a bottle of water.
In time, if you enjoy the class it is more likely you would want to continue practising, then perhaps it is wise to have some yoga accessories of your own.
Yoga lovers tend to dedicate a room or space at home for yoga practice.
Below you will find some Yoga Essentials that you may like to have, as well as a nice selection of Yoga Wear.

An important feature to look for when buying a yoga mat is that it is anti-slippery. You do not want to be sliding along with your mat whilst you are changing posture during your exercise.
The beauty of Asanas or Yoga Poses is they are ideal for every level. As a beginner or if you haven´t been practising for a while, your muscles won´t be so flexible. Then, you need some extra help to reach your toes in a sitting forward bend or to lift both your legs up when lying on your back. The yoga strap will come in very handy.
Some Asanas may be challenging when you are a beginner, however, there is no need to stress yourself as you can use blocks, also called bricks, as an extension or for support.
4. Soft Wool from the Kashmir Region in North India
It is common at the end of a Yoga class; 5 minutes are dedicated to relaxation and 5 minutes to meditation. This may vary depending on the type of class. When you are active during the practice of exercises you are warm, but when you are lying down inactive your body temperature drops.
This is when a blanket or shawl is useful to cover yourself to keep warm and enjoy the unwinding and relaxation time.
Comfortable clothing is a must for a yoga class; a pair of loose cotton trousers, a cotton T-Shirt or top, socks and comfortable underwear including a sports bra.
1. 100% Organic Cotton T-Shirt
A comfortable V-neck T-Shirt with an imprinted flower of harmony symbol. It is made of durable cotton that will last for years.

Hello Marisa, I must say that this article is very helpful and informative. My wife enjoys practicing yoga so I see this article as a great way to discover what she needs and buy it for her. Thank you for doing a great job by presenting what is necessary for yoga, you saved me lol!
Oh! This is really great and to say I found this very useful would be an understatement. This is very great to see here especially for a beginner like I am. Right from time, I have always had a special place for yoga in my heart but I did not have the time. Now, it is part of my new year resolution and this information is just timely for me. Getting majority of these suggestions would really go a long way. Thanks
Hi, I´m glad you like the information and hope you manage to start yoga in the new decade. Yoga is highly beneficial to our health. Thank you for writing.
Great post! I started practicing yoga at home. All I have bought so far is a yoga mat and a plastic water bottle. I saw a lot of interesting things in the shots, like various sponges, massagers, balls. This article gave me great ideas on what else to use. I like Jogibelt the most because I am currently working on my flexibility so this will be very helpful to me.
Hi, thank you for your nice words. I´m always pleased to hear more people are practising yoga. The Yoga belt is good for stretches where you cannot reach easily. Keep exercising.
This is not so much requirements. It’s something that a person should be able to get without so much stress. The way you have also pointed everything out makes it easy to note. I didn’t know that there was some requirements for one to get in a yoga mat too. This is something I want to start doing for my stress. I’d prefer to yoga at home with some video lessons. Thanks!
