Samantha’s yoga product pick of the week is our Glass Flip-Top Water Bottles. We recently began selling these attractive and durable bottles, and they’re already a big hit with both our customers and the staff here at Barefoot Yoga! Samantha says, ”Just in time for summer to keep you hydrated, these Glass Flip-top Bottles are BPA/phthalate-free and come in a silicone sleeve. The new narrow-mouth spout is a great no-spill design. These bottles are dishwasher safe as well.” You’ll notice that water tastes fresher and stays cold longer in glass bottles.  You’ll love them!

What are the Best Products for Iyengar Yoga?

Do you practice Iyengar Yoga or thinking about trying it out?

Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha yoga which traditionally focuses on alignment and precision. Iyengar emphasizes “sequencing” – referring to the order and timing of a sequence of asanas and breathing exercises.

Many props are used for Iyengar including blocks, straps, and blankets. Wear form- fitting, yet comfortable clothing.

“Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.”
~BKS Iyengar

Here’s what we recommend for Iyengar:

HYBRID NATURE MATS Use any basic mat for Iyengar, like our Hybrid Eco Mat.	YOGA PRACTICE STRAPS 100% cotton straps give that extra reach and secure hold.	YOGA BLOCKS Mr. Iyengar invented the yoga block to work as an extension of the floor to achieve precise alignment.

OMGIRL IYENGAR CAPRI Form-fitting clothing and stretchy clothing is best for Iyengar Yoga.	prAna MEN’S JD SHORTS Performance fit, Elastic waist, Stretchy fit. Perfect shorts for Iyengar Yoga.	MEXICAN YOGA BLANKETS The most versatile prop for Iyengar – a recycled blend of cotton and acrylics.

LIGHT ON LIFE By B.K.S. Iyengar Iyengar uses stories from his own life to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers.	THE TREE OF YOGA By B.K.S. Iyengar An invaluable source book for new students of yoga and seasoned practitioners.	YOGA THE IYENGAR WAY by Silva, Mira & Shyam Mehta The comprehensive, practical and authoritative guide to Iyengar Yoga.
