Yoga blocks are a popular prop used in yoga practice to enhance flexibility, deepen stretches, and provide support for challenging postures. These blocks are typically made of foam, cork, or wood and come in different shapes and sizes to accommodate different body types and yoga styles.

Yoga straps
Yoga straps are a versatile prop used in yoga practice to aid in achieving proper alignment, increase flexibility, and deepen stretches. They are typically made of cotton, nylon, or other durable materials and come in various lengths and widths.
The primary purpose of a yoga strap is to extend the reach of your arms, legs, or torso, allowing you to safely move deeper into a pose that may otherwise be inaccessible. For example, if you're struggling to reach your toes in a seated forward bend, you can loop the strap around the soles of your feet and hold onto the ends to gently pull yourself forward.
Yoga straps can also be used to modify poses for students with limited mobility, injuries, or tight muscles. By wrapping the strap around a body part or using it to support your weight, you can reduce the intensity of a pose or make it more accessible.
Overall, yoga straps are a useful tool for any level of yogi looking to enhance their practice and improve their alignment, flexibility, and strength. They can be used in a variety of ways and are a valuable addition to any yoga prop collection.
Yoga straps, which serve as an extension of the limbs in poses like Gomukhasana, Natarajasana, Paschimottanasana… to safely enter the pose, hold it properly, while maintaining comfort and ease. The straps are durable, made of cotton fabric, with a buckle on one side, and vary in thickness and length. Tightening that is too tight can increase tension in the shoulder and neck areas.
Regardless of the asana, be sure to maintain a soft grip on the belt.
Yoga roller (wheel)
A yoga roller, also known as a yoga wheel, is a cylindrical prop used in yoga practice for stretching, strengthening, and releasing tension in muscles. It is typically made of durable materials such as plastic or cork and ranges in size from small to large.
Yoga rollers are designed to provide support and stability during yoga postures, allowing practitioners to deepen their stretches and improve their alignment. They can also be used for massage and myofascial release, by rolling the wheel over tight or sore muscles to help release tension and improve circulation.
The yoga roller (wheel) is a relatively new device that has been put into practice by yogi Dharma Mittra. The main purpose of the roller is to improve the flexibility of the back and to open the front part of the body - it stretches and easily opens the chest, shoulders, back and hips. It also brings more dynamism into practice.
Yoga rollers come in a variety of colors, textures, and densities to suit different needs and preferences. Some rollers have a smooth surface, while others are textured or have grooves to provide a deeper massage effect. The density of the roller can also vary, with firmer rollers providing a more intense massage experience, while softer ones are better suited for gentle stretching and relaxation.
Overall, the yoga roller is a versatile and effective tool for enhancing the benefits of yoga practice, promoting physical health and wellness, and relieving stress and tension in the body.
