There are several free and low-cost Android and iPhone apps for yogis of all skill levels, from beginner to experienced.

Use Yoga Props<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yoga props aren\u2019t just for beginners. In fact, the respected yoga teacher, B.K.S. Iyengar, introduced props into yoga practice so that everyone, regardless of physical ability, could get the most out of their yoga practice.

Yoga blocks, straps, and bolsters can help you prevent injury, relax into a pose, hold a deeper or assist your restorative yoga practice.
