Gear You Need🧘
Start here for your first mat routines.
Â
I use this extra thick 15mm mat for floor moves. Super cushy on my spine, hips and knees, but it can feel wobbly for standing moves. Around $30.

Â
I wear these for the grip dots and the strap across the top. Sizes 4-10. Around $10.
All In Motion Yoga Knit Grip Socks
Â
I use these for legs and arms. Four strengths, so start light. Around $16.99.
Blogilates Loop Bands (4-Pack)
Â
I use this for arms and inner thighs. Foam handles are comfy. Around $19.99.
Gaiam Pilates Ring (15")
Â
I use it for core work. Pump it to the firmness you like. Around $7.99.
9" Pilates Ball

12" so it's easy to pack. I use it to loosen up after a workout. Around $15.
All In Motion Travel Foam Roller

Felina Leggings (2-Pack, Plum Wine)

Medium support. Comfy and stays put. Around $20.

Soft long sleeve with an open back and removable pads. I wear the black one in Small. Around $28.99.
Aoxjox Clarissa Long Sleeve Crop Top (Black)
Â
High-rise, a lighter pick than leggings. Around $18.
All In Motion Bike Shorts (Navy)
Â
A layer for warm-ups and cool-downs. Green is the one in stock, so that's my pick. Around $30.

Â
Light, quick-dry towel in blue. Around $20.
