MY FAVOURITE YOGA ESSENTIALS

One great thing about yoga is that we can do it absolutely everywhere. I've practiced all around the world in tiny hotel rooms, on roof tops, in studios when possible, on beaches, in the desert, everywhere... And in my opinion, we don't actually need anything but ourselves and a little bit of space for a successful asana practice. But that being said, there are definitely a few things that make my yoga practice even more enjoyable. Here are some of my favourite yoga essentials.

A good yoga mat makes all the difference.

I have personally used the Manduka Pro Lite yoga mat for years and it's what you see me practice on in all of my videos. There so many different mats on the market now, so I suggest trying a few out if you're unsure of what works best for you. Your own yoga mat is definitely worth the investment and makes more of a difference to your practice than you might think.

The perfect pair of Leggings doesn't exi......

Get yourself a pair of Lululemon Align leggings! Trust me, for years I was so apprehensive and not willing to spend that much on a pair of leggings. But once I did, there was no going back. I've tried many different brands over the years like Gymshark, Echt, Aimn, Onzie... and while I think most of their leggings look really cute and work for the gym, for yoga I keep coming back to Lululemon's Align. They always last for years (and I wear them a lot), so in my opinion they're worth the investment.

PS: Did you know that one lucky participant of each 10-Day Yoga challenge wins a $120 Lululemon voucher? Who knows, maybe your next pair of leggings is on us 🙂

Now that we've got the leggings covered, we need something for up top 🙃 I love trying different brands when it comes to tops, crops and bras. Everyone likes different coverage, styles etc., but these are of the brands I'm wearing and have my tick of approval:

~ AIM'N:I love their ribbed bras

~ Muscle Republic: Loving their bras, crop tops, and shorts. I'm yet to try their leggings 😅 

~ Beyond Yoga: One of my fave tops! You'll never wear any softer material than this.

~ Hyperluxe: For their amazing and always changing collection. I never leave empty handed 🤭

A curated Playlist to support your practice.

Not to toot my own horn but I very much love my own playlists and practice with them whenever I can. I carefully choose songs that will support the energy of my practice, and for me personally, a well curated playlist makes all the difference. Follow EVOLV.'s Spotify account here.

Yoga Props!

There was a time where I never used props. I didn't even think of them... like I kinda forgot they existed for a while 😅 It all changed when I did my 300hr YTT in Byron Bay. In every single practice we used props and it was an absolute game changer for me in so many ways. Postures that I thought weren't accessible for me all of a sudden were. Some of the more restorative postures had never felt so good in my life! If you haven't made friends with Yoga blocks, straps and co., it's about time you did! I get all my props from Apana (use code 'EVOLVxAPANA for 10% off). I also use their massage balls and rollers for some much needed myofascial release. I highly recommend them!

Aaaand that is all my friends! Happy shopping 🤭 But please always remember that everything I've mentioned are just the icing on the yoga-cake. Everything you need for Yoga is already within you (except for a bangin' playlist... that's still nice, right?! 🤪)

P.S. None of these links are affiliate links, I'm just sharing with you what I love.

Lots of love and happy practicing.
