Props

  • My Favorite Yoga Mat:  Manduka Black Mat.  I also use the light travel mat for when I’m on vacation.
  • Straps:  These are fairly inexpensive and really come in handy for working on new postures.
  • YogiToes Mat Towel:  One of my favorite products during the hot summer months.  It lays on top of your yoga mat and helps to provide better traction for your hands and feet.
