Yoga/Pilates strap

Straps are very useful to access deep stretches, especially when the hamstrings feel a bit tight.

Selection of straps here.

Bolster

by Ekotec

Bolsters are great companions for our Restore and meditation practice, offering support and making seated positions more accessible or helping our body stay in long-held stretches while protecting our joints.

Selection of different bolsters in organic materials here.

Weighted balls

These props are really useful to work the upper body more and they feel much nicer than the traditional dumbbells. You can choose from different weights (for small repetitive movements like the ones we most often perform in Pilates, even the 0.5kg works perfectly).
Selection of weighted balls here.

Yoga wheel

I have been using my Yoga wheel primarily to help open my front body more, as it really supports safe backbending and flexibility of the spine, but this prop is also fantastic for our inversion and core strength practice.

Acupressure mat/pillow

Acupressure works applying pressure to various points of the body, similarly to what acupuncture does using needles. The mat and pillow can be used for neck and back pain (that's the reason I first bought them), but also to improve sleep and superficial blood circulation.

Bamboo Yoga brick

Super sturdy and long lasting support for your Yoga practice, which you can use for standing postures as well as seated stretches.

Small Pilates Ball

This is one of my favorite props, especially for core work, as it can be used to really support the lower back when this is a delicate area.
The ball can also be used for many stability and rehab exercises for the joints.

Small ball available here.

Yoga bricks and Pilates blocks

by Ekotec

Bricks are great to get more support in Yoga. Blocks are often used in Pilates for seated exercises and to create a deeper squeezing action.

Selection of bricks and blocks here.

Loop bands

These bands are ideal if you want to work deeper in Pilates and Barre, as they naturally reduce the range of movement and increase the muscolar effort, while also helping improve the technique.
The light ones are perfect to work the lower body if the knees are a bit delicate, you can always vary the intensity of the work as you continue with your practice.

5 bands pack here.

Long elastic band

The elastic band is very useful in Pilates both for lower body and upper body work, and also to assist specific core exercises.

Selection of different straps here (you can choose the intensity).
