If you're someone who wants to get into yoga but are so stiff that even touching your toes is a struggle, then this tape will help. Unlike its companion tape, How to Use Props: Bolsters, Blankets, Pillows, which focuses on the passive, "restorative" yoga style, this one employs props with a variety of more active poses, using them specifically to promote correct alignment and support and thus enable the user to feel the full benefits of a given posture without unnecessary strain (not to mention the frustration that often accompanies it). The non-stick yoga mat is the sine qua non of props--whether you're on a bare floor or a carpet, it's almost impossible to practice satisfactorily without one. But even experienced yogis may be unaware of the virtues of a strap (for tight hamstrings, hips, and shoulders) or blocks (also for hips and hamstrings, especially in standing positions). Simply using a strap as an arm extension in a basic seated forward bend, for instance, straightens the back for a proper stretch and better circulation. After explaining the props, instructor Suzanne Deason finishes up with a brief (about 10 minutes) practice, using the strap or blocks for a shoulder stretch, the upward- and downward-facing dog poses, the triangle, the warrior and extended warrior, and a couple of forward bends. Not bad, and all to the accompaniment of genuine French impressionist music instead of the usual New Age wallpaper. --Kelly Welldon

 not much help March 29, 2008
I was hoping for some creative ways to use the yoga props, but there were just a very few standard tips. This might be good for a beginner or someone who is pretty limited physically.

I'm just starting yoga and as I have not exercised in a long time, props such as blocks, straps, etc. are essential and a great help. When I bought my yoga mat it came with a bonus block and strap, but I had no idea what to do with them - then I bought this tape and it is invaluable in enabling me to do the poses correctly for my level of flexibility. If you have trouble reaching your toes or have any difficulty completing a pose, this video is for you.
