New to going to yoga studios and not sure what to get? Or maybe you discovered yoga over the pandemic and you're ready to upgrade your gear.
Here is a simple guide to help you navigate budget-friendly options for when you're just starting out.
Here are the basics of what you'll need:
Optional:
When searching for yoga wear, the most important thing to look for are items that will make you feel comfortable. Can you move freely from pose to pose without having to make adjustments?
For Yin Yoga, you are looking for super cozy clothes. For Vinyasa flows, you're looking for moisture-wicking clothing that moves with you. For Hot Yoga, well lightweight and quick-drying fabrics are your friends!

Mats are really the only thing that you need to practice yoga. But what kind of mat do you want to get? The main difference between mat types is how thick the mat is and the material. Read on How To Find the Right Yoga Mat.
If you're beginning to love yoga for its restorative qualities, you may be looking for a mat that offers an extra bit of cushion so you can rest in those healing poses for as long as you want. Here are a few budget-friendly options that will be kind to your joints, too.
Hot yoga is great for sweating it out! Which means lots and lots of moisture. Since the last thing you want is slipping and slidding, you're going to either need a yoga towel or a mat that has superior traction that maybe even gets better with moisture!
If you're taller than 6', a longer mat is recommended.
Take your home practice anywhere you want with a carrying strap or mat bag.
If you love hot yoga or tend to perspire a lot, yoga towels are incredibly handy for a slip-free practice. And when you're done, just throw it in the washing machine for easy hygiene.
I used to think that blocks were just for people that weren't quiet flexible enough to practice a pose. Now I know better - blocks are an invaluable support to one's practice. Read our article All About Blocks.
Yoga straps are an excellent way to lean deeper into those juicy poses - especially useful for restorative and yin yoga! Read How to Use Yoga Straps.
Uplevel your home yoga studio! If you love meditation or restorative yoga, having a meditation cushion and a bolster is super handy to sink into those juicy poses.
