Props help you with alignment and excelling the postures. These are used by students as well as teachers. There is no shame in using them, rather teachers understand the significance of underting one's body shape and level of flexibility and recommend using props until you you have excelled the posture. Some of the most common props are:
1. Bolsters: These are firm cushions that provide support and help you relax into poses. They are particularly useful for restorative yoga, where the focus is on relaxation and gentle stretching.
2. Blocks: These are versatile props that can be used to modify poses and make them more accessible. They can be placed under your hands, feet, or hips to provide support and stability.
3. Straps: These are useful for improving flexibility and reaching deeper into stretches. They can be used to extend your reach and provide support in poses where flexibility is limited.
