I recommend having two blocks. Use under your hands, feet or seat (meditation) to ensure the proper alignment needed in order to safely support and modify poses to suit your level of flexibility If you feel tight, don't risk injury and grab a block or two

This Basic Yoga Mat is a little thicker than the one in the bundle. I wouldn't go any thicker than this because it makes the balance more challenging. 68" long 24" wide ensures comfort. With high density eco friendly material, the 1/4'' thick premium mat comfortably cushions spine, hips, knees and elbows on hard floors while keeps you balanced

This Basic yoga strap is a simple, non-elastic band that provides extra stability and flexibility to stretching, yoga, therapy, workout, and more.

I am grateful for the knowledge and wisdom of Pema Chodron and appreciate her humor and real-ness and connectedness to the human condition.
