Top 7 Yoga Accessories 2024
Due to their ability to make yoga practice easier and more accessible to anyone who wishes to learn, yoga accessories have somehow managed to get a bad reputation. If you're a beginner thinking that using a block or a strap is a sign of weakness, or of your lack of flexibility to perform the full pose without any help, you're missing out.
Yoga accessories are simply tools, used by new and experienced yogis, not only to perform a pose, but to develop and deepen the dimensions of their asana practice, and even help with certain transitions in vinyasa yoga. Without further ado, here are our Top 5 Yoga Accessories that will help you take your yoga practice to the next level.
The Exercise Mat
The first on our list is our top selling yoga mat, the Yoga-Mad Tree Mat which is designed using natural rubber to ensure the best health to you during your time spend doing yoga. It is designed to offer fantastic grip, and with fantastic shock absorption is has quickly become one of our most popular yoga accessories.
Supplied in a number of colours, this mat can be used in the house if you're stuck inside, or even in the nearby park if you have one close by. This mat is designed to offer abrasion resistance too, meaning that you shouldn't suffer from burns on your body.
Key Features: Designed using natural rubber for quality; high grip suitable for indoors and out; abrasion resistance protects the skin.
The Yoga Block
Useful for beginners and experienced yogis alike, the block can help you out with some of the most basic poses, and even with one of the most challenging transitions in vinyasa yoga, the step from downward-facing dog to a lunge. Along with the mat, the block is one of the most frequently used and much loved yoga accessories.
The Sissel Yoga Block is a lightweight and durable tool, suitable for both beginners and experts. It's available in two materials, EVA foam and natural cork, so you can easily find the perfect fit for you.
Key Features: Lightweight and durable; available in EVA foam and natural cork; ideal for beginners and experienced yogis
The Resistance Band
Resistance bands, also known as exercise bands or Pilates bands, can take your yoga practice to the next level. Adding resistance to your workout is great if you want focus not only on your flexibility, but strength as well.
The Dyna-Band Exercise Resistance Band caters to all abilities, from beginners to skilled athletes. Its compact design is ideal for storing in a gym bag, or taking away with you when you travel.
Key Features: Available in four strengths; compact design; colour coded strengths
Protective Gloves and Socks
There's no denying that yoga is extremely beneficial for your body and soul, but working out on hard surfaces can often be demanding for your hands and bare feet. The Pro11 Yoga Gloves and Socks will protect your hands and feet from friction, while improving your grip.
The fingerless gloves are made from organic cotton for maximum comfort and flexibility, while the pattern of non-slip dots on the palms provides the secure grip. Like the gloves, the socks are also made from breathable organic cotton, with anti-slip threads on the soles to promote safety and improve your balance and traction.
Key Features: Made from durable organic cotton; improve balance and traction
The Yoga Wheel
The wheel is perfect for the advanced yogi looking to further their practice. The yoga wheel was originally designed to assist with back-bends, as it enables you to move deeper into your back-bends than would be otherwise possible.
The Pro11 Yoga Wheel can help you to assist in a range of postures, including child's pose, reclining easy pose, or fish pose. For a slightly more personalised yoga experience, it's available in three colour options: black and pink, green and pink, and purple and green.
Key Features: Ideal for stretching your spine; can be used by just about anyone; available in three colour options
The Spreaders and Correctors
The Pro11 Yoga Toes Spreader and Corrector are superb for improving balance, form, comfort and stability while you exercise. If you suffer from pain in your feet, these are a great option for reducing that pain while you exercise. They can be used for a wide range of foot conditions, or simply used to improve your own balance and posture during yoga.
They are becoming extremely popular as people realise how important it is to look after your feet during yoga exercise. By using these whenever you like, you can make your yoga experience far more comfortable.
Key Features: Improve balance, posture and stability; reduce pain during use; suitable for use with a number of foot conditions
