December is here again… This month is not only about Christmas but mostly, being the last month of the year, it is about contemplating and evaluating the year behind us to get ready for the year ahead of us. To make this time even more exciting and effective meditation and yoga are both great tools. So December is the time to get started with your yoga and meditation practice if you have not done it yet and you are interested in it. Since you are doing yoga and meditation at home during the self-isolation, then building a home yoga studio is a great idea and it is way more simple than you might think.

Being at home during the quarantine might make you feel bored sometimes. But there are activities that can stimulate you, and creating a space for yoga and meditation is definitely one of them.

So let’s discuss what yoga gear and essentials you will need to establish a wonderful home yoga studio in this beautiful last month of the year!

HOME YOGA STUDIO ESSENTIALS FOR EXERCISING

First of all let’s discuss a few home yoga studio essentials that are important for an effective yoga session, especially if you are planning to get into yoga on a regular basis.

1. EKO LITE YOGA MAT

This yoga mat is eco-friendly and besides being biodegradable it provides the proper surface for a safe at-home yoga session.

2. YOGA MAT WASH

Just as anything else a yoga mat gets dirty. So when you buy a yoga mat it is important to think about how you can clean it in the future, because you don’t want to put your face on an unclean mat.

You can add this REFRESH LAVENDER yoga mat wash to your purchase along with the Yoga Mat and then you not only keep your mat clean but it will also have a fresh smell.

3. MAT TOWEL

You will clean your YOGA MAT once in a while, however as you sweat while exercising you might need to use a towel on the mat to feel more comfortable laying on it.

I personally love the magic purple color of this mat towel, but you can choose other colors as well. This towel is also a great choice if you love doing a yoga session on the beach as I do.

Why not combine yoga and swimming afterward. Having a towel that actually dries very quickly like this one won’t be an issue anymore. Not to mention that it is very simple to pack this towel.

4. RECYCLED FOAM YOGA BLOCK

A YOGA BLOCK is definitely a must-have when it comes to building a HOME YOGA STUDIO. Because the whole point of yoga apart from stress release and improved body strength is to enhance your body posture and flexibility. A YOGA BLOCK is made for the purpose to improve your ability to express a yoga pose by

• supporting you with the correct alignment of the pose
• and helping you to improve ROM (Range Of Motion)which is the measure of flexibility. (1.)

If you are a Yogi you might want to be environment conscious as well.

In this case, this yoga block is a great choice for you, because first of all it has a post-consumer recycled EVA foam without having any issues with durability, and this YOGA BLOCK has five-star reviews, so most people very happy with it.

5. THE HOME YOGA STUDIO BUNDLE

Why not combine the above-mentioned home yoga studio essentials and save a little bit of money by purchasing this home yoga studio bundle.

This item has the followings:

1. PRO YOGA MAT, which is also very popular among buyers since it has a high-density cushion for joint protection and a surface that keeps moisture from seeping in which actually keeps the mat clean.
2. CORK YOGA BLOCKS provides great support by having a sustainable cork material.
3. A YOGA STRAP with a freshly built square-ring buckle. A yoga strap is an essential tool for flexibility routines.
4. And finally, you will get the YOGA MAT WASH so a clean YOGA MAT is not an issue anymore.

YOGA GEAR ESSENTIALS TO EXERCISE IN

After we got you covered with the most important home yoga studio essentials let’s discuss what is the best yoga gear to wear!

6. PRESENCE LEGGINGS

When we are talking about what should be the bottom wear for me a great pair of leggings is the go-to. Apart from looking good, feeling comfortable is a must.

That’s why this pair of leggings are the ones I would recommend. Most of the people who bought them are happy with the quality since these leggings provide a high rise fit with a sufficient quantity of compression.

7. ESSENCE BRA

After discussing the bottom let’s not forget about the top. I always wear a sports bra and for this purpose, I recommend this bra:

Not only do I love blue as you can see, but is also made from an ultra-cooling moisture-wicking material that keeps odor away and provides you with great comfort while exercising.

To stay blue I have you covered with these great pair of leggings, which are also high-waisted with a comfortable waistband and moisture-wicking to keep odor away.

8. ENVELOPE SWEATSHIRT

The weather is not always warm even when you are doing your at-home yoga session, especially when you start. Things might only warm up later.

This sweatshirt is made from organic cotton. Wearing clothes from organic cotton is a great choice because you use less synthetic fabric, avoid chemicals, and cotton farmers will benefit from it (2.).

HOME YOGA STUDIO ESSENTIALS FOR A YOGA SPACE

So far we are talking about the foundation you need to basically be able to do yoga at home. However, we all know that the environment does matter in order to feel really enthusiastic. I know that I personally won’t be able to regularly do yoga without creating a supportive space for that.

So let’s discuss some essentials that could help you bring your home yoga studio to the next level!

9. AROMATHERAPY KIT

To create a compelling experience we would like to benefit from five senses, one of which is smell.

This KIT has it all covered, since it has the followings:

• The USB-powered essential oil diffuser which you can bring anywhere you go.
• And to complete your experience you will also get a 10ml bottle of essential oil that you can use cautiously on your skin.

10. MUSIC

Hearing is the second most important sense after smell when it comes to creating an appealing workout session. I mostly listen to music when I do YOGA.

Spotify is a great way to hear music. I personally love old school house music not too loud, but you can definitely find meditational tunes as well.

11.CANDLE

We can’t miss a few candles when it comes to a meditating yoga session, because sight is another one of the 5 important senses and lighting supports a great sight.

Luckily any big grocery store has them. So combine a nice walk and purchase a few candles for your next session.

12. ZAFU MEDITATION CUSHION

Talking about the importance of the yoga space’s sight, decoration could help a lot. For this purpose, having a few of these mediation cushions around you will definitely enhance the feel of a compelling experience:

Since they are for meditation purposes you can also place them below your back or knees while meditating. The cushions have a special spinal alignment which will relieve pressure from your back and knees. People who bought them also emphasized that these cushions were great for sitting and for the tight hips too.

If you want to bring your meditation after yoga to the next level this HALFMOON SIT SET above is a great option, as it has the MOD MEDITATION CUSHION -which allows your body to relax after yoga – and the ZABUTON, that will lift you off the floor. And not only that. They provide a great style for your living room.

So this was my summary of the home yoga studio yoga gear essentials I would recommend having if you want to bring your at-home yoga experience to the next level.

Happy Holidays and enjoy your new direction,

Eszter
