Yoga Mat
Yoga Mats typically have some grippyness to them that can help in certain poses. They come in different sizes and thicknesses. If you are tall, look for a longer mat, if you have sensitive knees and joints, you might like a thicker mat. There are also different materials. This mat finder can help you narrow down your options.
Two Blocks
Blocks can help with alignment in poses. They are not just for beginners—when you improve your alignment with a block, it can sometimes make the pose more challenging. I recommend getting two. This is the set I have, and I also have some cork blocks. The cork blocks are bit more sturdy and feel luxe when your use them.
Strap
A strap can be handy if you lack flexibility or range of motion in certain poses. They can also help for creating binds in restorative poses. I like this set that includes blocks and a strap. You can also just use a belt or a towel, but yoga straps are typically longer, which can be nice.
Blanket
A Blanket or towel can be used to make seated poses more comfortable by raising your hips, padding for your knees, or an extra layer for savanna. You can use any blanket you already have.
One of the best things about yoga is that you don’t need much stuff or much space. However, a few key items can make your practice more comfortable and enjoyable.
