The best thing about yoga is that you don’t need fancy equipment like yoga blocks or bolster to practice and reap the benefits of yoga at home. In case you don’t need yoga equipment at home, here are a few common household items you can use instead.
Yoga Block
A yoga block is a versatile piece of equipment that is used for both standing and seated yoga poses. There are plenty of household items that can be used instead of yoga blocks such as towels, blankets, boxes, or even books.
Yoga Strap
Yoga straps are not expensive and they’re great for improving flexibility. In case you don’t have a yoga strap on hand you can try using a scarf, towel, or a belt instead.
Bolsters
A quality yoga bolster can be a bit more expensive, which can be a problem in case you don’t want to splurge on yoga equipment. Fortunately, you can try replacing a bolster with a couch cushion, pillows, or by folding a few blankets or towels.
Yoga Mat
If you’re going to invest in just one piece of yoga equipment that should definitely be a yoga mat. Yoga mats are inexpensive but in case you don’t have one on hand you can replace it with a towel or a blanket.
