Hlayi's Yoga offers beginner-level yoga classes through challenging advanced classes in all different styles of the practice.(Looking for vinyasa, yin yoga, ashtanga, Iyengar, or prenatal yoga? Hlayi's Yoga has them all and more.) Hlayi's Yoga classes can be streamed online. There’s a misconception among some that props are designed for beginners or people who “aren’t good at yoga.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. Props are used by newbies and seasoned yogis alike for all sorts of reasons, from comfort to deepening stretches to making a pose safer if you have an injury or limitation, says Carol Krucoff, an instructor certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists and Yoga Alliance, and the author of the book Yoga Sparks: 108 Easy Practices for Stress Relief in a Minute or Less. Props can be an equalizer to help make poses accessible to people of all body types, says Krucoff. Some people have shorter arms or a longer torso and a block or a yoga strap can help people get into a pose safely, she says. Props can also be an important component of class, as in a chair yoga class,in which most (if not all) seated poses are performed in a chair rather than on the floor, says Krucoff.
