New to yoga? Not sure what you need?
If you're new to yoga and wondering what you'll need, then we can help. There are a myriad of yoga mats offering different properties for different styles of yoga,
different advice about what equipment you'll need, what clothing to wear and so on. The reality is that all you need to start you on your personal Yoga journey
is a good teacher. However, to encourage your personal practice, it is advisable to have your own Yoga mat so that you can develop your practice at home.
Listed below are some of the yoga products that we sell at Yoga Bliss and some information about them that may help you to chose what you need.

What Yoga Mat do I need?
Often, this will depend on what style of Yoga you have chosen to practice. Many people are not sure what style of Yoga they are about to embark upon so we often
advise them to purchase a good, all round mat that will be suitable for most types of Yoga. A good choice of yoga mat, suitable for most types of yoga would be
the Yoga Pilates Mat from Sun Salutation.
This yoga mat is durable, has great grip, offers good cushioning and is machine washable. As the name suggests, this yoga mat would also be suitable for pilates.
We have many other yoga mats available that you may prefer as your mat is a very personal choice.

Do I need a Yoga Mat Bag and if so, which one?
You will find having a yoga mat bag extremely useful. Not only does it protect your mat and make it easier to carry, it is also useful for storing your valuables
during your yoga class. Some of our mat bags are suitable for carrying just your yoga mat and your valuables but others are larger and will carry two mats,
a change of clothing, perhaps some blocks or bricks (yoga props) or a blanket, it just depends on your personal taste and practice. Make sure you look at the
dimensions of the bag to give you an idea or the bag's capacity. All of our bags will carry a standard yoga mat.
The Street Yoga Mat Bag is a great choice if you walk or cycle to your class as it is compact, weather-proof and stylish.

What Yoga Clothing do I need?
Like most forms of exercise, you need clothing that will allow you to move and stretch easily without 'riding up' to reveal your tummy or other bits of you that
you'd rather keep fully clothed! Some styles of yoga make you sweat more than others which is why people tend to wear a vest or camisole style top.
Generally, people prefer to be able to move their arms and legs freely without excess fabric getting in the way. Natural fabrics or clothing made up of mainly natural
fabrics with just a little bit of elasticity seems to work the best as they allow your body to breathe. Man made fibres tend to be 'slippery' and are not always ideal,
particularly if your teacher is trying to adjust you in a pose. We have chosen our range of yoga clothing
with all of the above in mind and have tried and tested all of our clothing both for men and women.

Do I need anything else?
There are many other pieces of equipment available that may be useful and may support you in your yoga journey. For example, some teachers may advise the use of
props, blocks or bricks to help you to achieve a pose or straps to help you 'bind' in a pose.
There are blankets which are useful for relaxation after your yoga practice, for mediation
or for rollling or folding to use as a soft 'bolster'. As your yoga progresses, you may well find out for yourself what type of equipment and clothing
you prefer, so over the years your choices will change.
Don't forget, if you'd like some advice about any of our products, you can either email or telephone us and someone will be always happy to help you. |
