SPRI YSK-R2 Yoga Starter Kit with Yoga Mat, Two 6″ x 9″ x 4″ Foam Blocks, 6′ Cotton Yoga Strap, and Yoga Postures Poster

For beginning yoga students, this starter kit comes packed with all the necessary equipment. First and foremost is a 68-by-24-inch purple sticky mat that adheres to any floor surface. It won't shift as you move into new poses or cause feet to slide so you can turn all your attention toward your breathing. At 1/8-inch thick, the mat provides good insulation from cold studio floors, and offers a fair amount of cushion on wrists during potentially straining poses, such as downward-facing dog or plank. At just over 2-1/2 pounds, this mat is lightweight enough to carry to and from the yoga studio and rolls up for easy transportation or storage. Other props include a 4-by-6-by-9-inch lightweight foam block that provides additional support, and a 6-foot cotton strap with an adjustable cinch buckle to help deepen your stretch during reclining poses. A 10-by-28-inch color poster displays all the standard poses, and is perfect to hang up for easy reference in the area where you practice. --Cristina Vaamonde
