Summary: I improvised the props.
Review: You can use this book without spending much on props. All i have is a yoga belt, about twenty bucks. The rest I improvised. The hardest thing was a little table you put over your lap with legs to do one type of forward bend. I use one of those low, reclining lawn chairs, of the aluminum summer furniture variety. It folds up--the front over the middle, then the back over the middle, then is sitting on four legs and...presto--It works just like the yoga bench in the book. and you probably already own one. Or can get one for maybe fifteen bucks (as opposed to a real table for seventy bucks). I just use this as an example. I found a bunch of things that are very much like bolsters at a local variety store. for a yoga chair you buy just a six dollar folding chair and then fold it up, lie it face down on the floor, and kick the back out (going forward), using your weight and a hammer. That leaves a chair with just an arched pipe for a back that you can use for the various things he has in the book.
blankets and pillows you already own. so, the bolsters are the hardest to find but you can find cheap substitutes.It's worth it. This book is a life changer. Only one criticism--he has each series illustrated by little photos for people with particular problems, but at the end of the book where you find the daily schedules, there are no pictures--you have to look them up if you can't remember the sanskrit names. Well, this does encourage you to learn the sanskrit names, but it would be better if there were pictures to save time. I've had to turn the pages in mine so much it's already beginning to wear out. buy it, though. or maybe in a few years a newer addition will be improved by adding the pictures to the daily schedules.
