Arguably the Most Versatile Yoga Prop: The Blanket
A yoga blanket is a versatile and essential prop that enhances your practice by offering support, comfort, and adaptability. It can be folded, rolled, or layered to create a customized foundation that meets your unique needs. Whether you’re using it to cushion your joints during poses, elevate your hips for better alignment in seated positions, or as a cozy layer during Savasana, a yoga blanket promotes greater ease and relaxation.
Perfect for practitioners of all levels, it helps deepen stretches, supports restorative postures, and provides gentle warmth, encouraging mindfulness and connection throughout your practice. With a yoga blanket, every pose feels more accessible and nurturing, fostering a practice that’s both safe and enjoyable.
Pro Tip: wash wool/cotton yoga blankets with cold water & hang try. Heat will shrink the wool only and your blanket will become wonky.
Blanket Alternative: any kind of blanket will do, but I would recommend one without a lot of squish
My Top Pick: Hydration Nation
This blanket brand earned my top spot because they are 100% cotton (natural & soft), a great price point and they have some really cool colorways! Blankets have a personal flare, and you can of corse go a different direction than the classic woven Mexican style blanket, but i would recommend it be flatter than fluffy to be easy to fold with good creases.
