Ever wonder what that wall full of props is all about? Props like blocks, bolsters, belts and wedges support the body so that muscles can lengthen in a passive, nonstrenous way. Correct use of props allows us to experience full benefit from asanas regardless of our range of flexibility or fitness level. And yet yoga props are not just for beginners or more limited students. Come tinker with items from the prop wall and see how they might enrich your yoga experience, whether it be giving greater comfort and ease to the beginner or bringing fresh, creative ideas to those with more established practices.
