Recommended Equipment

Mats: Necessary for floor work

Suggested dimensions:
Thin mats for standing exercises – 3 mm
Thicker mats for floor work – 8 mm

If you don’t have a mat, a thick beach towel will work

Riser/Rolled Towel: Optional for floor work

A riser is great to have for floor and seated exercises. If you are unable to lie comfortably on your back or sit on the floor with a straight back, a foam riser will help facilitate these positions and engage the correct muscles. Sometimes a rolled towel can be used instead of a riser.

We recommend foam risers size 12 in. x 8 in. x 2 in.

Yoga Strap/Resistance Band: For floor work

Very helpful for floor stretches.

The level of resistance is not of importance.

A long belt (like a robe belt) will work if you don’t have a strap/band.
