Whether you're looking to take your very first yoga class or want to take a yoga class in the comfort of your own home, yoga is praised for both its health benefits and its accessibility to all. As you progress further in your yoga journey, you may want to consider more yoga equipment to deepen your practice. Our specially compiled yoga kit can help you with this.

Read on as we walk you through our ready-made yoga kits, all carefully vetted by our team of in-house yoga teachers at Yogamatters to provide yogis with affordable kits to support a variety of different yoga styles. Whether you're looking to invest in a meditation yoga kit to further relax into a restorative yoga routine or want to treat a loved one to a yoga starter kit as they find their feet - we have an exceptional variety of accessible yoga kits to suit all needs and requirements.

But first, let's answer some of our frequently asked questions about yoga kits and equipment.

What equipment do I need for yoga?

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this question, as it often depends on the type of yoga or meditative practice you enjoy most, we would recommend investing in four key parts, especially if you are new to yoga and interested in getting started on the right foot.

A yoga mat is arguably the most universal piece of equipment you will invest in. It provides a comfortable place to devote to your practice and helps provide additional support and stability. Due to the nature of a yoga mat's unique design, these mats are intentionally designed to provide subtle cushioning and grip to keep you comfortable as you flow through different poses. Better yet, if you're considering venturing into an outdoor class, invest in one (link removed) eliminates the need to share mats with other people and can act as your own protective, hygienic barrier between you and the ground, giving you added hygiene and stability.

If you're already relatively active and expect your yoga practice to pick up steam, a handy yoga towel will probably be your go-to item when you work up a sweat. Designed to cover your yoga mat to prevent your mat from becoming slippery, a (link removed) acts as an absorbent layer and is recommended for an intense or hot yoga session. The best yoga towels are often the same size as your yoga mat and are made from a microfiber-like material so they stick to the bottom of your mat and allow you to flow freely.

Particularly beneficial for yogis who are just starting out and want to stretch further into new poses, (link removed) (sometimes known as a yoga strap) can be a helping hand between you and poses that require regular practice to get right. Yoga belts are expertly crafted to support your body in specific positions and poses. They differ from traditional weight resistance bands because they do not provide any stretch, they simply work by allowing you to extend your reach. Here at Yogamatters, we recommend using a yoga belt in Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) to lengthen your spine, or in Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose) if your fingers don't quite reach behind your back, but there really are endless uses for a yoga belt for all levels.

Yoga stones are great for creating more space in poses so you can focus on aligning your body. Instead of pushing your body further than it can comfortably reach, a yoga stone acts as a barrier between you and your mat, allowing you to land in yoga poses with less strain or stress on your body. Often purchased in pairs to allow for balance under each hand or arm. (link removed) is a versatile brace that is perfect for anyone looking to increase their stability.
