June 21st has been declared by the United Nations as World Yoga Day, since December 11, 2014. This year, it is dedicated to developing the connection of the individual with nature, family, and social environment. Practitioners are called to connect with their physical body, mind, and emotions, their social and physical environment, and their own inner positivity and express this positivity through harmonious relationships and interactions with others.

Here you will find everything you need to celebrate the harmony of mind and body!

Yoga Clothes

Surely you need a yoga leggings that will give you comfort and facilitate your movements in various poses or athletic shorts, especially on hot days. Also, for women, an athletic sports bra for breast support, which will fit perfectly on your body, is absolutely necessary. A athletic t-shirt will give you the flexibility you need! As for colors, choose white that reflects energy or other beautiful colors, avoiding black.

Yoga Equipment

The most essential of all is none other than the yoga mat. Choose your favorite color from a wide variety and opt for a stable, but not too thick mat, to balance better. The carrying strap will make it easier for you to transport it. Additionally, a towel to lay on top is ideal for keeping it clean.

Other accessories that will take your yoga practice to another level are blocks for alignment, yoga wheels for a more advanced level, pillows and meditation bowls. If you practice aerial yoga, you can get your own fabric for home practice!

What else you will need:

• A sports bag for your clothes is a must-have accessory for all your sports activities.
• A sports water bottle to keep you hydrated at all times should not be missing from your side!
• If you don't want to go barefoot (although it is necessary to ground yourself) you can get special yoga socks.
• For yoga in nature or by the sea, a jockey hat is essential, as well as a sunscreen with a high protection factor.

Books about Yoga
