Yoga accessories: Excellent tools for your yoga style

Yoga accessories help you to fine-tune your practice and come in several styles, such as Yin Yoga, Iyengar Yoga or Hatha Yoga used regularly.

Yoga blocks:

Yoga blocks, also known as yoga blocks, are versatile as they can be used both as support in certain postures and to bridge gaps (for example, when the hand cannot fully touch the floor in Ardha Chandrasana). Yoga blocks can be used to make postures more challenging. They offer safety and well-being, make it easier for beginners to get started, and are light, yet stable and break-proof. This yoga item is available from us in many different sizes, shapes and materials. Depending on your personal preference, you can choose cork, bamboo or adhesive-free foam. All blocks are uniquely light, perfectly shaped and remarkably durable. In addition, no cleaning agent is required for cleaning; after use, all you have to do is wipe the yoga accessories with a damp cloth.

Yoga bolsters:

Yoga bolster or yoga rolls are often used in Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. It is particularly suitable for exercises that are held for a long time. It also supports an upright posture, because when you sit on the outer edge, your hips are positioned higher than your knees and you tilt slightly forward. This straightens your spine. This yoga accessory is also suitable for relieving pressure, as your back, neck, shoulders, head and joints are wonderfully softly cushioned and your body is deeply relaxed. The bolster can therefore be used for a strengthening effect in certain passive yoga positions, but can also be used in some active yoga exercises.

Yoga straps:

Yoga straps, are also known as yoga belts, help you perform difficult asanas and hold the stretches during the exercises for a long time. The belt supports you in being able to hold the asanas at the desired intensity for a long time, with an optimally aligned posture. Yoga belts can also bridge gaps if you cannot bring your hands together or cannot reach your feet with your hands in a seated forward bend. The yoga belt can also be rolled up very small and can therefore also be easily transported in your bag. In our greenyogashop you will find high-quality belts such as those made from recycled polyester fabric and cotton. They are available in different lengths and widths and of course you can adapt this yoga accessory to your needs using the buckles.

What yoga accessories do you need as a beginner?

Especially as a beginner, it is difficult to get a complete overview of the sheer vast range of yoga accessories available. In this article, we will therefore present the most important, most basic yoga accessories that you can use as a beginner to get the most out of your yoga session.

Yoga mat: It is the heart of your practice, protects your joints and gives you a comfortable feeling throughout. We are happy to tell you what you should consider before buying your mat and what the differences are.

Yoga clothing: Of course, you don't necessarily need special clothing for your yoga workout. However, comfortable clothing is essential so that you can fully concentrate on your exercises. Nothing is more annoying than tight pants.

Meditation cushions: As a beginner, it is often difficult to remain in an upright sitting position for a long time. Meditation cushions are designed to provide stabilizing support for your body during long periods of sitting - so you simply sit more comfortably, more upright and protect your back and joints.

Yoga bag: Do you often travel with your yoga equipment - to the studio, to practice outdoors or maybe to a class with friends? Then a yoga bag is perfect for transporting your yoga equipment - comfortable, practical, light.

Yoga towels, yoga blankets and mat pads: Non-slip towels and mat pads cover the mat in a non-slip and hygienic way, even during strenuous exercises. The towels are of course machine washable and dryer safe. Absorbent and quick-drying, they are also multi-purpose.

Drinking bottle: Very important! Don't forget to drink enough water during your yoga classes. With a practical drinking bottle you will always have water everywhere. But please only use BPA-free material such as 100% recyclable stainless steel.

Yoga accessories for fascia yoga & yin yoga

Nowadays, exercises that focus on the fascia are very popular in yoga. Actively counteracting hardening and adhesions, preventing discomfort and maintaining the mobility of the connective tissue is becoming increasingly important for many yogis and has actually developed into a significant trend. Since science has also gained more and more knowledge, it is becoming increasingly clear how positively yoga can affect these myofascial structures. It is particularly suitable for this form of yoga to use yoga accessories, which have proven to be very effective. With practical aids, you can declare war on tense muscles, back pain and weak connective tissue. With the help of fascia rolls, fascia balls and trigger bars, you can release tension, treat the fascial structures of the body in a targeted manner and experience particularly deep relaxation on the mat.

Yoga accessories for meditation

Meditation is also an important element of yoga and should not be overlooked. You can use meditation mats and yoga blankets as warm pads to protect you from the cold floor. Eye pillows ensure a restful and meditative sleep. You can also integrate meditation cushions into your practice to ensure you sit upright and comfortably.
