Guide to Homemade Yoga Props
So you would like to take one of our Virtual Self Care Classes (Sunset Slowdown, Yoga Nidra, Self Care Gentle Yoga, De-Stress for YOU or Restorative) and don't have the yoga props required for class? We do sell props at the studio, however, in the event you're unable to purchase them there, we've created this handy list so you can use common household items to make your own props.
Blocks
To make 1 block, use two hardcover books and bound them together with a brown paper bag and tape. If you don't have hardcover books, two large size softcover books would suffice. When making your blocks, try making them the same size - depending on the thickness of the books, you may need to use more than two per block.
Blankets
Generally in Restorative class, you will need 2 to 3 blankets. When selecting your blankets from around the house, choose throws or twin size blankets and be sure they are soft and cozy. Also, large bath or beach towels would do, but disregard bed sheets because they are too thin.
Bolsters
To create a bolster, you need something firm. You can use a removable couch cushion or a comforter rolled up tightly and fastened with 2 belts.
Eye Pillows
If you don't have an eye pillow, you can use a sleep mask or a folded hand towel or washcloth to cover your eyes for Savasana.
