Yoga Equipment Listed from Most Important to Least
Yoga Blanket
The second most important tool we encourage you to purchase if you’re serious about your yoga practice is a yoga blanket. A blanket is helpful for a variety of reasons, some of which include:
-
Elevating the hips in seated poses for increased comfort and enhanced ability to properly practice certain poses
-
A must-have for those with knee issues or when you’re going through a sequence of poses with one or both of your knees down for a bit
-
Many difficult poses can be easily modified with a blanket so that they are more accessible to you

Cork Yoga Blocks
Yoga blocks are especially helpful when you’re just starting out in your yoga practice, they allow the correct form to be attained with ease. Triangle poses, warrior poses, halfmoon pose, and most revolved poses are just some of the poses that can be enhanced by the use of a yoga block. Having two blocks is also beneficial when tackling the splits or staff pose as well. You can purchase foam yoga blocks instead, however, they’re not as stable as the cork ones so spending a few more bucks on the cork is the way to go, in our opinion.

Yoga Bolster
Also known by some of our clients as the “yoga pillow”. The bolster is a very helpful tool to have especially when practicing yin yoga or more restorative styles of yoga. This tool allows for a more beneficial and comfortable experience while releasing in supported forward folds, restorative backbends, as well as a few other poses that are difficult to relax in. We recommend you purchase the rectangular version if your lower back is tight and the round version if your back is no so tight.

Other Self Care Tools We Love
Spoonk
The spoonk is our entire family’s #1 self-care tool that we cannot live without. This amazing piece of equipment allows you to give yourself an acupressure massage anytime you want. It is excellent for relieving minor aches and pains, reducing stress, and improving your sleep. We find the spoonk especially effective at relieving neck, back/shoulder, and foot pain. The picture will take you to the complete spoonk set that we cannot recommend enough!

Neck Massager
For relieving neck tension/pain and even reducing headaches this tool is a must-have. We haven’t been using it as long as the spoonk but we did experience substantial results after the first use and have been sold on this neck massager since. It relieves neck tension that even your massage therapist might not be able to get in too.

Core Supplement Recommendations
Green Powder
This is a staple for our entire family almost every day, mixed with some OJ. Even Nate (our 11-year-old son) doesn’t mind the taste of this green powder and he’s a tough crowd. There is so much goodness packed into this supplement that is hard to get regularly even in a well-balanced healthy diet. Plus if you have day with low veggie and/or fruit intake taking this will at least count for something.

Fish Oil
We personally strive to consume a very plant-based diet with some meat including fish to sufficiently maintain a healthy amount of omega-3. However, meeting one’s needs for both EPA and DHA is difficult without supplementation. Which is why we highly recommend a high-quality omega-3 supplement for most people.
