They include blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets, cushions, and mats. Props were popularised in modern yoga practice as teachers across the world began encouraging accessibility for every body, regardless of age, flexibility, or physical limitations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Today, yoga props in Australia are considered essentials in both studios and home practices.
