Mats, blocks, straps, bags, wheels and bolsters for every yoga style.
Yoga accessories differ more than they appear to from the outside. A thick mat that feels comfortable for restorative yoga compresses too much for balance poses. A cork block feels firm underhand but is heavier than foam in a bag. The guides here cover yoga mats by thickness and grip, blocks by material and height, straps by length and buckle type, and the bags, wheels and bolsters that complete a home or studio practice.
