Yoga props are more than just accessories. They are essential tools that bring confidence, stability, and freedom to your practice. Whether you're new to the mat or looking to refine years of movement, props enable more mindful and effortless movement.
Together with Spanish yoga instructor Laura, we've curated five unique classes that will allow you to experience how props can transform your practice. Each class builds upon the previous one, gradually guiding you from foundations to strength, and then to creativity and playfulness.
Why Props Matter & How to Use Them with Confidence
Every journey begins with understanding the basics. In this introductory class, Laura explains the role of the eKO® lite yoga mat, yoga blocks, yoga straps, bolsters, meditation cushions, and mat cleaner. She demonstrates how they help align your posture, deepen your stretches, and create a sense of security on the mat.
Foundations Flow: A beginner-friendly Vinyasa class using blocks for alignment and support.
Yoga blocks are often one of the first props many practitioners reach for, and for good reason. In this beginner-friendly flow class, Laura gently guides you through fundamental poses, using blocks to foster correct alignment and stable grounding.
By bringing the floor closer to you and making poses more accessible, blocks give you the space to focus on your breath and body's stability.
Stretch & Restore: Gentle Stretches with a Strap and Bolster for Deep Release
In this class, we use a strap and bolster to gently release tension accumulated in the body. The strap expands your range of motion, guiding you into stretches with ease, while the bolster firmly supports your body in restorative poses.
The result is a calming and nourishing practice that brings deep release and relaxation to both body and mind.
Power & Balance: How Props Enhance Strength and Stability in Dynamic Flows
Props aren't just for beginners or relaxing practices. Used correctly, they can enhance the effects of strength training. In this dynamic class, Laura demonstrates how to leverage blocks and straps to gain stability and precise feedback in challenging flows.
Incorporating props can improve alignment in balancing poses, building a more stable and intentional foundation for powerful movement.
Creative Play: Out-of-the-Box Ways to Integrate Props for Fun and Freedom
Yoga is also a time to explore curiosity and joy. In this final class of the series, Laura encourages us to think outside the box and use props freely to explore movement.
Through playful transitions and creative pose variations, this session stimulates freedom of movement and reminds us that props not only support discipline and stability, but also awaken creativity.
Your Prop Journey Starts Here
Whether you want to improve your alignment, build strength, or explore deep relaxation and playfulness, props will accompany and guide you at every stage of your yoga journey.
With Manduka blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets, your practice will not only be supported but also enriched and deepened.
