Props aren’t shortcuts—they’re tools for transformation. 🧘‍♀️✨
In yoga, props like blocks, bolsters, straps, blankets, and therapy balls aren’t just for beginners. They’re for anyone seeking better alignment, deeper awareness, or more accessible strength.

🔹 Blocks bring the ground closer—helping with balance, support, or creating space in poses like Triangle or Half Moon.
🔹 Bolsters support the body in restorative postures, encouraging stillness and nervous system regulation.
🔹 Straps or Bands extend your reach, support mobility, or help build strength and resistance in active variations.
🔹 Blankets offer comfort and joint support—under knees, hips, or the neck—and help create warmth and grounding in Savasana.
🔹 Balls offer self-massage to release tension and enhance proprioception.

Props help your body meet the pose—rather than forcing your body into someone else’s version of it.
They invite more strength, more freedom, and more presence.

That is yoga.

Let’s break down Vasiṣṭhāsana (Side Plank Pose): This powerful pose builds strength, stability, + focus—one breath, one layer at a time. Meet your body where it is *today.*

✨ From the ground up, each part of your foundation plays a role in supporting the lift, balance, and expansion of this shape.

📐 Notice how small adjustments—like spreading through the fingers or lifting the hips—can completely change how the pose feels.

Whether you’re finding stillness or exploring a variation, remember: your version is the right one.



🙏🙏🙏 Philomena for demonstrating Vasiṣṭhāsana
Thanks to + for the 👕

✨ One Pose, Many Paths ✨ SWIPE >>>

Each body tells a different story—and in yoga, that’s something to celebrate, not correct. In these photos, four variations of Extended Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) show us how alignment, strength, flexibility, and expression can all exist on a spectrum. What’s “right” is what serves your body today.

🧘‍♀️ Four variations explained:
▪️Block under hand – A powerful prop that brings the floor to you. It supports stability, opens the chest, and takes pressure off the spine and shoulder.
🌬️ Floating hand to floor – Builds strength in the legs and core while deepening the side-body stretch. Demands strong foundation and balance.
🔗 Bound variation – A deeper twist and shoulder opener. Requires mobility in the hips, chest, and shoulders. Energizing and grounding all at once.
🌙 Arms up like holding the moon – A creative variation engaging core and obliques. Elevates focus, builds awareness, and strengthens through isometric engagement.

This is yoga: listening to your body, adapting with awareness, and honoring where you are. Whether you’re supported, floating, bound, or lifted—it’s all valid, all powerful, and all part of the practice. 💚
