Starting a yoga journey is exciting, but with so many tools on the market, beginners often feel overwhelmed. Choosing the right accessories can make your practice safer, more effective, and more enjoyable. At Yoga With Nati, we believe in supporting every step of your path—from your first downward dog to your hundredth savasana. In this blog, we break down the top 5 yoga tools that every beginner should consider, along with tips on how to use them properly.
A yoga mat is the most essential piece of equipment. A yoga mat provides the grip and cushioning you need for balance and joint support. Beginners should look for:
👉 Tip: Clean your yoga mat regularly with a natural cleaner to extend its life and prevent bacteria buildup.
Why our yoga mats?
Our Chakra Circle Yoga Mat is designed not just for function, but with intention. Made from sustainable materials and inspired by chakra healing, they bring purpose and grounding to your every movement.
Many beginners struggle with flexibility, which can lead to incorrect form or even injury. Yoga blocks provide the support and extension needed to access proper alignment.
👉 Tip: Use two blocks for symmetry in poses like supported bridge or triangle.
A strap helps deepen stretches and maintain alignment, especially when hamstrings and shoulders are tight.
How to use a yoga strap effectively:
Meditation and breathwork are integral to yoga. A zafu cushion elevates the hips, promotes a neutral spine, and enhances comfort during long sits.
Yoga With Nati offers beautiful handmade meditation cushions that align with the aesthetics and mindfulness your practice deserves.
Restorative and yin yoga classes often require a bolster to support the body in long-held poses. This helps release tension passively.
👉 Tip: You can also use a bolster during savasana or under your knees in seated meditation.

For many people, yoga begins as a class they attend once or twice a week. But over time, the real transformation happens when yoga becomes a part of daily life. Consistency, not perfection, is the secret to deepening your practice.
Yoga teaches us to live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. For many, that journey toward balance and mindfulness also includes caring for the environment. As yogis, our commitment to non-harming (ahimsa) extends beyond the mat.
