Yoga is a transformative practice in flow, that encompasses physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and good vibes.
It offers a multitude of benefits, including increased strength, flexibility, and enhanced dexterity.
To support and deepen your yoga journey, incorporating specific tools and props can provide additional assistance and guidance.
In this article, we will explore essential yoga props, that can help you improve flexibility and unlock new levels of proficiency and strength in your practice of flow.
- Yoga Blocks:
Yoga blocks are versatile props that provide support, stability, and assistance during yoga poses. They are particularly useful for practitioners who are working on flexibility and dexterity.
By placing a block under your hands, feet, or hips, you can modify poses and gradually deepen stretches without straining your muscles or compromising proper alignment.
Yoga blocks offer a stable base that allows you to explore a wider range of motion, gradually building strength and flexibility over time.
Our 100% all natural ecofriendly OMI Yoga blocks are firm and dense, lending more support and stability.
The natural color of our cork yoga blocks along with its pleasing texture lend an earthy, warm aesthetic to any space or product, adding a touch of natural elegance and beauty to the environment.
- Yoga Bands:
Yoga straps, also known as belts, are excellent tools for enhancing flexibility and supporting tension relief. They assist in achieving proper alignment, especially in poses that require reaching or binding.
Bands can be used to extend your reach, enabling you to comfortably hold positions that might otherwise be challenging.
They are particularly beneficial for hamstring stretches, shoulder stretches, and deepening twists.
As your flexibility improves, you can gradually reduce your reliance on the strap, ultimately gaining greater dexterity and freedom of movement.
Our 100% natural, soft cotton OMI Yoga bands, are perfect for stretching and deepening poses, and enhancing your flexibility.
- Yoga Wheels:
Yoga wheels have gained popularity as a versatile prop that supports flexibility, mobility, and balance. These circular Pilates and yoga props, provide a deep stretch and massage-like effect as you roll over them. Yoga wheels are particularly effective for opening the chest, shoulders, and hip flexors.
They also assist in backbends, allowing practitioners to safely explore and deepen their spinal extension. Incorporating a yoga wheel into your practice can help beginners and expert yogis release tension, improve flexibility, and deepen stretches.
