You want to make sure to wear loose clothing that will allow you to move freely. There are clothing lines for yoga, however, it is not necessary to wear a specific yoga garment. A pair of sweat pants and a tee-shirt will work just perfect.

To do yoga properly you should have a yoga mat. A beach towel can be used but it not as efficient as a mat. It is sometimes very helpful to use props to deepen the asanas (poses) or if there is a need to modify a position. Props can include yoga blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets. Although there are more props available, these are the most commonly used types.
