Props
There are many options for buying props or using what you have around the house. If you want high-quality props that will last, I highly recommend Hugger Mugger (See my top picks below) Besides the better quality (I’ve tried just about everything out there!) Hugger Mugger is a local company, all products made in the USA, eco-friendly, handmade, heavy metal and phthalate-free with employee-driven values. Supporting “yoga companies” with shared values in practice and in presentation/marketing is important to us here at Trinatal Yoga.
These are hands-down the best blocks out there. Tall enough to actually help create more space during the practice and versatile on other settings to use for a lifetime. Absolutely worth a few extra dollars to get the only blocks you’ll ever need.
Full-Size Bolsters offer the most support for seated or reclining positions. The pranayama Bolster (smaller size) is also a great option for side-lying savasana during pregnancy.
