Favorite Things
Mats
There are several mats that I have enjoyed using but this is my favorite mat is the Manduka Pro. It is not cheap but it lasts for a long time. There are less expensive mats out there but some flake apart or are too thick for balance. Less expensive mats that I recommend:

Straps
Yoga straps help with stretching and flexibility. They come in different sizes, 6 feet or 8 feet. Personally, I enjoy the longer length as there are more options of movement. Some students use a mat carrying strap but look at the length as sometimes it is less than 6 feet.
