What
you need to start Yoga?
You don’t need a lot to start yoga, most fitness centers or
Yoga studios have mats for you to start with but if you want to take it to the
next level I would suggest you get your own mat and maybe a block and a strap
to help you get into those poses.
Yoga Mat
A yoga mat provides padding as well as a non-slip surface to practice on. A classic yoga mat is best for beginners, but upgrading to a thicker mat is recommended if you are practicing on a wood floor.

Yoga Props
Yoga props are very helpful when starting yoga. Use a yoga block to stabilize standing poses, use a yoga strap to go stretch further in seated poses and use a bolster or a blanket for restorative poses.
Yoga Clothing
Wear loose or stretchable clothing is best for practicing yoga poses. There are many clothing manufacturers that specialize in yoga clothes, but you will pay a premium for the fit and performance, so you might want to start with what you already might have in your closet.
