I've sourced some equipment that can be useful for class and featured some of my favourites.
If the item is sold out, check back periodically.
​
Yoga Mat
for all classes
on Amazon
I have tried many yoga mats in my day and this is by far my favourite. It's a little thicker than most but not heavy and has a nice grip.
18 " Foam Roller
for Rolling Class
on Amazon
This one is my favorite for rolling class. It's the least intense (but still pretty intense). I find 18" is wide enough.
Nice and compact for storing.
Pinky Ball
for Stretch Class
at Granville Island
From time to time we will massage the feet in Stretch class. A tennis ball works fine. My favorite is this Pinky Ball. The Granville Island Toy Company carries them.
for Stretch/Pilates/Core
Thera-bands
on Amazon
A set of 3 therabands. We use these in Stretch, Pilates and Core classes. Not essential but good to have.
Stillness Speaks
Meditation Book
for Stretch/Pilates
Foam Block
at Sportchek
I love this foam block! It has a nice jean material cover. Great for cushioning the knees when on all fours and using as a pillow.
36" Foam Roller
for Rolling Class
in Vancouver
This one is the traditional 36". It can be picked up locally at Relaxus.com, on Powell St near Clarke Drive. I don't think there's a need for one this wide, but you may prefer it.
Massage Ball
for Rolling Class
ships from Langley
Comes in 3 sizes, 5", 6" & 7"
The smaller the more intense.
If you're buying just one I recommend
getting the 6". If possible have 2 balls for class. Will need a pump.
for Weights Class
Ankle Weights
from Sportchek
I love these ankle weights, they're soft and comfortable. I suggest getting the 5lbs (each). They may feel a bit heavy at first but you will quickly gain strength.
Ankle Weights
for Weights Class
Outdoor Lounger
for fun :)
on Amazon
Whenever I am out on my lounger everyone asks me where I got it, so here it is. So comfy and convenient!
I call it my hotdog bun because it's like a bun and you are the hotdog. Best thing I ever bought!
for Rolling Class
18" High Density Foam Roller
on Amazon
If you like a more intense massage, this one will be more intense than the white one, the foam is more dense.
Yoga Blocks
for Stretch Class
on Amazon
Place under the hands for comfort and extra support with balance and stability when in a stretch or pose. Optional, not essential.
Expandable Ankle Weights
for Weights Class
on Amazon
These weights are a great idea!
You can make them from 1lb. to 5lbs.
So you can increase the weight as you get stronger. They are neoprene so should be comfortable.
on Amazon
This is the book I sometimes quote in class. It teaches the fundamental elements of meditation. It is short and concise but with so much depth. Truly transformational.
