新手初學瑜伽的時候，通常筋骨都比較硬，做起來難免會吃力一點，如果勉強做或者會用錯力而拉傷。對於瑜伽新手，確實要善用以下6個小工具，包括瑜伽磚、瑜伽繩等，在做不同式子的時候能幫忙借力、穩定和承托身體，減輕關節或肌肉的壓力，有助訓練者慢慢加強柔軟度，初學Yoga的朋友必備！
1. 瑜伽墊
先由最基本的瑜伽墊講起，挑選瑜伽墊時最重要是它的防滑性，避免練習失平衡時會滑倒，亦應具備一定的吸汗能力，以防汗水會滑腳。另外，瑜伽墊的厚薄也各有好處，厚墊的觸感較軟，做一些跪地的動作時能減輕膝蓋的壓力，不過同時會令訓練者較難平衡；相反，在薄地墊上做跪或趴的動作時，用作支撐的手或膝頭或會比較痛，但就較易平衡，相對較安全。

2. 瑜伽鋪巾
順帶一提，很多yoga studio都有固定的瑜伽墊提供，訓練者在每堂完結後都會抹乾淨，如果還不放心，其實可以自帶一張瑜伽鋪巾，鋪在地墊上，那就可以放心將臉靠近墊面了。

3. 輔助伸延繩
瑜伽練習中有許多拉筋動作，例如做坐地前伸，很多初學者連手掂腳趾也很吃力，這個時候就可以用一條輔助伸延繩，雙手把繩繞住腳底，再慢慢將身體向前傾，伸展背部和雙腳，也可以輔助拉鬆肩膊和胸口等部位。
（Youtube截圖）4. 瑜伽磚
由於筋骨未夠鬆，新手在做某些瑜伽式子，例如三角式、側角式等，需要單手按地，腰部或會感到非常繃緊，這個時候就可以將瑜伽磚放在手掌下，將身體和地面的距離稍微拉闊，減輕腰部拉扯的感覺，為身體提供一個穩定舒適的支撐點，而因為瑜伽動作講求平衡，通常每位訓練者擁有兩塊瑜伽磚就十分足夠了。

5. 瑜伽枕
除了瑜伽磚，瑜伽枕也可以用來承托身體，通常會在枕上盤坐，或者在平躺時放置在腰背下，有效舒緩腰背的壓力，令人非常放鬆。

6. 瑜伽輪
近年亦興起瑜伽輪，它能特別針對訓練後彎的動作，非常適合腰背僵硬及肩膊肌肉較繃緊的朋友。當用瑜伽輪承托背部時，可以加強胸肌及腰肌的伸展，最重要是避免了一般後彎動作帶給腰椎的壓力，減少受傷的機會。
