props to yoga
A key misconception is that props make a pose easier or gentler; support is feedback.
The popularity of pushing into a pose should be replaced by the honest efficiency of meeting yourself where your needs are. Props give you access, and help you maintain a calm breath. If you are overriding your breath in order to seek sensation, you risk overdoing, strain, injury.

Warrior 3
Shop till you drop? Uh uh…The lines in the pose kind of merge with the horizon and the fence but I had fun trying Virabhadrasana 3. We definitely have to have a warrior spirit and a peaceful heart, plus be able to laugh at ourselves from time to time
Some benefits include:
- Strengthens the ankles and legs
- Strengthens the shoulders and muscles of the back
- Tones the abdomen
- Improves balance and posture
