Yoga straps or yoga belts

Give yourself more flexibility with the aid of yoga straps or belts. These can loosen those tight hamstrings of yours and other parts of the body that are still working their way into being more flexible. They also provide stability whenever you do a hand stand as they keep your arms together. Incorporate them in your poses for more control while staying more relaxed.

Essential oils, diffusers, incense sticks, or scented candles

Infuse some aromatherapy on your yoga sessions. These are great aids to deep meditation and body relaxation. Certain oils produce scents that put your body and mind in a most relaxed state. Why not try switching aromas between lavender oil, lemongrass, eucalyptus, and even cedarwood?

 

Music/playlist

Music and music playlist are commonly used in yoga and other types of health and fitness sessions. The right type can pump you up or cool you down. Switch genre and themes as you prefer. Have a separate playlist for your warm-ups and cool-downs. And, have another playlist during yoga sessions. For choices, you can check out classical music or even pop. Meditational music is a basic choice as well as chants, chimes, and nature sounds. How about strings, percussions or both?
