I get asked all the time, what do I need to get started doing chair yoga? It’s a good question, because there are soooo many prop options out there, and one can get lost in the plethora of choice. And now that most practice happens at home, people have been either buying their own props or making do with things they already have, like books and bath towels.

If your budget allows for it, I think it’s worthy to invest in your practice with a few good props. If you are already practicing with chairs, or are looking to get started, I have compiled a list of what I think are the most important tools to acquire. This list is in order of importance, in my opinion, and when I can, I offer some suggestions for things you might use at home.
