Props for Practice? The Iyengar tradition is widely known for their use of props. Having the right support in the form of props can help the student in the following ways:
Supports the student so the pose becomes accessible.
Aids in facilitating alignment of the pose and the student.
Can deepen the understanding of the action(s) necessary in the poses.
In a restorative setting can allow the student to relax and receive the benefit of the pose with in effortless manner.
Having said that, the practice of Iyengar Yoga is not about buying the props or even having them. It is more about having the will and discipline to have a consistent, daily practice. Use what space you have. Utilize what is available around you: a wall, a chair, a table, a stool, books, etc. Have your practice guide you to what you need and it may very well not be prop related.
However, if you would like the support and informative quality of props, if used correctly, please see below for a list of suggested props.
