Supplies
You will need a Yoga Mat, Yoga Blanket &
2 Blocks for training.
Below are some suggestions of my favorite products:
*There are a million varieties of each of these items...
feel free to shop around.
*For your mat: We all have favorite brands, and they all feel different under our hands and feet, so try an few and see what works best for you.
*For your blocks: the weight and size are more important then the brand
*For your blanket: Yoga blankets are blankets, period. Standard size helps there to be enough without too much material.
