Blankets and strengthens and obstructs, oh my! The Most Complete Run-Down and straps and mats, oh my! You've probably seen them all, in photos or in your local studio or health club. However what are you supposed to do with them? If you participate in an Iyengar, Kripalu, Anusara, Viniyoga or Corrective class, you most likely have an excellent idea how to use at least a few of them.
But there are numerous choices. That's why we've published our Yoga Prop Guide. You can see it above, or if you wish to see a bigger variation, you can find it here. The majority of the yoga props we utilize today were designed by B.K.S. Iyengar. Iyengar began his Yoga practice with T.
Patabhi Jois, T.K.V. Desikachar and Indra Devi. According to the website of the Iyengar Yoga Association of Greater New York (IYAGNY), Iyengar established yoga props to assist specialists of any ages, physique and experience levels to be able to maximize the benefits of their practice. Here's how IYAGNY describes it: "B.K.S.
Props help all practitioners (consisting of the most sophisticated) gain level of sensitivity to using effort and get the deep advantages of postures held over substantial period. Props are introduced from the beginning for trainees with specific physical restrictions and gradually in routine classes to enhance personal understanding of a posture and its impacts and to establish skill and confidence.
Props might be used in class to encourage trainees, reinforce self-confidence, and produce optimum body alignment. "Permitting students to practice asanas (yoga postures) and pranayamas (breathing patterns) with higher efficiency, ease, and stability, props provide support for the body and permit the mind to relax and more profoundly receive the benefits of the yoga." Hugger Mugger's creator, Sara Chambers, was a trainee of Iyengar Yoga in 1986 when she began making props for trainees and teachers in her local Salt Lake City classes.
A pair of made-for-Yoga shorts followed the next day. A custom furnishings home builder, Sara then branched off into making wooden blocks. Quickly she was carrying nonskid mats and blankets, and making bolsters, sandbags and clothes. By the late 1980s, Sara's little company was full-fledged, worldwide yoga props supplier. We hope our Prop Guide will be a helpful mentor tool for your practice and classes.
