10 Ways to Use a Blanket

This blog is about using a Blanket to support your yoga.  You can buy specific yoga blankets, but any firm blanket will work.

Over the years many yoga props and supports have been developed to support the spectrum of yoga poses but you can’t go wrong with the basics. Simple yoga props include: belts, bricks, blocks, blankets, chairs, bolsters, cushions and using a wall.

A blanket can be a useful support for any yoga student. In this blog I share a few ideas on how to use your blanket to support you in ten common yoga poses.

N.O.U.R.I.S.H. yourself by creating a 'To Be' list

 In this blog is a little inspiration to create your own ‘To be’ list, using the acronym N.O.U.R.I.S.H.

There’s also a PDF you can download to help you.
