Yoga Equipment

Though it has been around for centuries, yoga has only relatively recently caught on in the United States and around the world as an enjoyable way to keep fit and healthy. Yoga is a well-rounded workout that is designed to strengthen and tone muscles while increasing flexibility. It is a good way to lose weight and increase energy and vitality. If you've never tried yoga before, now is the time to get started!

As you begin to incorporate yoga into your daily life, you will need some basic equipment. Traditionally, a yoga mat has been used to provide traction and cushioning during the workout. In the chaotic modern world, however, yoga mats have become impractical. They are simply too large and bulky to travel with. Yoga-Paws are a much more efficient alternative.

Yoga-Paws were envisioned and designed by Yoga-Syz founder Gail Getzwiller, a yoga instructor with over three decades of experience. Made of space-age materials (not manufactured overseas), Yoga-Paws are the lightweight, portable alternative to traditional yoga mats. They are strapped directly onto your hands and feet and can be adjusted to fit any size. They provide the same grip and cushion as mats, but you can take them with you anywhere you go.

You may also require an instructional video or DVD if you are new to yoga. Even if you are experienced, check out Gail's latest workout DVD featuring two separate, compact workouts. One is a traditional Hatha yoga workout, the other incorporates other exercises for even greater weight loss potential. A good yoga CD is another important component as it will set the right mood for your workout and help you realize the mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of yoga as well. You can check out the newest Satyaa and Pari CD for ideal background music.
