Essential Yoga With Props is the perfect guide for yoga practitioners at all levels. Those new to yoga are given basic, yet valuable, instruction on correct yoga postures, whereas the use of yoga props gives experienced yogis the opportunity to challenge themselves by improving their form and attaining precise body alignment. Those with physical disabilities and who may struggle with their own mobility and balance are encouraged to practice the asanas with the support of props.
Within this book are the most important and fundamental asanas, variations, and sequences for strength and alignment, supported stretches, relaxation, and centering and strengthening the core.
By following the sequences and using yoga props, the yogi can better understand each of the yoga poses and how precise execution can affect total-body flexibility and mobility.

The second half of the book provides restorative yoga exercises-supported by blankets and bolsters-to relax muscles, joints, and the nervous system.
