Yoga Props
In the Iyengar tradition props, such as blocks, straps, chairs, bolsters, blankets are used to help students move into correct alignment in poses. Each student is required to provide a yoga mat, two foam blocks, a 10 foot yoga strap with a buckle, and a firm cotton or wool throw size blanket. These props are available through Dr. Bortz,(go to Yoga Props page) or you may buy them at sporting goods stores, or yoga supply companies.
