How To Make Your Own Yoga Props
It’s easy to assume yoga is expensive. Classes may set you back 20 bucks each; $90 stretch pants may tempt you; and the cost of all that equipment — mats, rolls, bolsters, straps, eye masks — may resurface the very stress you calmed in your last $20 yoga class.
Relax (Remember those deep breaths.) Yes, depending on which route you go, yoga can be pricey. But there are many ways to cut costs. For one, consider dropping a few of those classes and practicing downward dog on your own.
Another money saver? Make your own yoga props at home. Below, Abby Lentz, founder of the HeavyWeight Yoga classes and DVDs, which are aimed at yogis who are overweight and obese, shares a few of her favorite homemade yoga props.
