Yoga is a popular sport people of all levels turn to to stretch out their muscles, build their core strength and enhance their flexibility.

While some may be more experienced yogis, others may be a beginner and feel overwhelmed when they step in the studio and hear the words “child’s pose” or “vinyasa flow” for the first time - you’re not alone.

No matter what level you are there are some essential sports buys that will help you throughout the session, whether it is hot yoga, bikram yoga or prenatal yoga.

With International Day of Yoga fast approaching (21 June), we have reached out to expert yogis to find the essential products they recommend to suit everyone’s abilities and needs.

While most people swear by non-slip mats and socks to help you keep your feet planted mid flow, others believe supportive athleisurewear is the ultimate must have.

However, others found yoga blocks, which assist you with your stretching, and post workout props, such as a foam roller or soothing balm that relax your muscles after a workout, are essential.

We have compiled a selection of clothes, accessories and equipment to make your next yoga session that bit easier - and won’t break the bank.
