These quick tips are for those of you who are taking your yoga practice into the comfort of your own home. One of the best parts about a yoga practice is that it follows you everywhere you go and really don’t need anything at all to practice. On the flip side, there is no doubt that some extra support and equiptment is always a bonus in making this practice accessible and extra comfy. To help make this process easier (and cheaper) we have created a list with some creative ways to use items that you already have as yoga props. It is time to take our yoga home!
