Yoga Supplies - Which Ones Are Best and Which Ones Are Essential?

Essential yoga supplies include a mat and a mat bag.  The supplies may be available for use in your classes, but I still recommend that you purchase your own.  Yoga can easily be done without any accessories, but the right supplies will enhance your experience; adding comfort, support and more confidence.  Of all the yoga supplies the yoga mat is the most common, and the first one you should think of purchasing.  But yoga supplies are more than just mats and exercise clothes, many people also use resistance weights on their wrists or ankles when they do their yoga exercises.

For those of you buying yoga supplies and setting up a yoga studio in a den or study this is an ideal solution.  In fact, the yoga supplies you will purchase are so compact that they can easily be stored in a closet when they are not in use.  Choosing the proper supplies is important because cheap supplies could be damaging to your health.
