Long description:
Explore the possibilities of using props in your yoga practice! Contrary to popular belief, props are not necessarily for beginners. Research shows that props can be an essential tool to modify and deepen poses, achieve optimal alignment and comfort, accommodate physical limitations, aid in injury recovery, and facilitate a safe and effective practice.
The Complete Guide to Yoga Props provides over 120 poses with more than 800 variations that use a yoga prop such as a block, strap, bolster, blanket, chair, or wall to modify, progress, or otherwise change the pose. The poses are grouped together as follows:
Learn what to look for when choosing a prop and how and where to position it depending on whether you want to make a pose more challenging, need to make a pose more accessible, or just want to try something new. Each pose includes the English and Sanskrit names to aid in identification and help foster a deeper appreciation for the historical and traditional roots of yoga.
Whatever form of yoga you prefer, using props can supply you with a limitless variety of ways to customize your practice. The Complete Guide to Yoga Props is an invaluable resource—an authoritative guide you will turn to again and again.
“The vast history and modern world of yoga can leave some students confused as to where to begin when practicing asanas. In The Complete Guide to Yoga Props, Jenny Clise uses her immense yoga therapy knowledge, her inclusive lens, and a generous dose of humor to inspire and guide the modern practitioner when supporting yoga poses. This accessible and encyclopedic book is sure to become a must-have classic for yoga students, teachers, and yoga therapists alike.”
—Dana Slamp, MFA, C-IAYT, Founder of Prema Yoga Institute
“I can still recall the first time I experienced Jenny’s approach to working with yoga props, and I know well the lasting effect it has had on my teaching and my practice. She helps you understand not only the mechanics of using props but also what it means to truly understand and support someone’s needs in a pose. Whether you’re a beginner to yoga or have been teaching it for decades, the insights that Jenny shares in The Complete Guide to Yoga Props can normalize bringing props into every aspect of your practice.”
