The Basics - Recommended

Summary

☑ Yoga mat (code: QILA15)
☑ Light weights (code: QILA15)
☑ Medium / heavy weights
☑ Sliders

Yoga mat

I usually use this non-toxic cork yoga mat from fellow female-founded business, Ananday. They also have a travel version.

If you want an extra cushy one, I love this one for grounded mat work. Use code QILA15 for a discount on any Bala products.

Light weights; Optional medium / heavy weights

I like to use these Bala bars as my light weights (code: QILA15). For progression and for heavier mat classes, I use these 5lbs & 8lb weights.

Sliders

These sliders are great on wood floors and carpet, or these if you want something more heavy duty. Or, keep it simple with socks.

Amp it up

Summary
☑ Ankle / wrist weights (code: QILA15)
☑ Heavier weight (code: QILA15)
☑ Resistance bands (code: QILA15)
☑ Knee / wrist support
☑ Wrist support option 2 (code: QILA15)

Want more weight options?

Want to go heavier? Try the 15lb Bala beam. Lighter? Try the Bala Bangles, bonus: you can wear them on your ankles for core & legs or wrists for upper body. I prefer the 1lb to prevent strain — its heavier than you think and it creates a bigger differentiation between this option and using dumbbells. Code: QILA15

Add some resistance

These resistance bands and these (code: QILA15) have a great range from light to super heavy so you can tailor it to the move or how you’re feeling on a particular day. The cloth also helps prevent them from twisting up your legs while you’re in a move.

Hips, knees or wrists hurting?

For extra padding beyond my mat, I keep this balance mat around for my knees or wrists (bonus: its great for foot cushion at your standing desk too). The Bala balance blocks (code: QILA15) are also great for wrist pain - the unique angle means you can change the angle of your wrists to redistribute your weight from a plank, pushup or table top.
