A mat also gives you traction during your poses. When your body heats up, you have a tendency to sweat, which could cause you to slip if you were directly on a floor. The mat helps minimize potential slipping and can add to
safety of your practice. There are a variety of different mats you can use.
Optional Yoga Accessories Yoga Mat Bag – It helps you carry your yoga mat to and from class. Some of them also have room for other items such as a change of clothes, your keys, and wallet.
Yoga dvds – If you are not taking classes, they can provide you with wonderful instruction, often from top teachers.
Yoga Props – There are a variety of props that can help you with your form, especially if you are a beginner.
One of least mentioned, but what I feel is one of most important yoga accessories, is a water bottle. During your practice, your body will likely sweat and release toxins. Water is necessary to help you flush out toxins and replenish any lost fluids. After your practice you will probably be thirsty, so cool, refreshing water will seem like a wonderful reward after all your hard work.
When you begin practicing, you may decide to just buy standard items. As you advance, you will very likely decide to purchase some other yoga accessories to help you develop and grow.
