What you will need to start

What you will need to start

The Our Premium Membership section makes it easy to start a yoga practice with 25 yoga sequences, streaming audio, bigger pictures and tons more.

3. Yoga DVDs
These are the best videos we have found for beginning students:
Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies
A.M./P.M. Yoga for beginners
Kripalu Yoga: Gentle

4. Yoga CDs
These are the best audio instructional CDs for beginning students:

5. Yoga Mat
A yoga mat provides padding as well as a non-slip surface to practice on. A classic yoga mat is best for beginners, but upgrading to a thicker mat is recommended if you are practicing on a wood floor.

6. Yoga Props
Yoga props are very helpful when starting yoga. Use a yoga block to stabilize standing poses, use a yoga strap to go stretch further in seated poses and use a bolster for restorative poses.

7. Yoga Music CDs

Playing music during your yoga practice will help relax, focus and soothe.
