What replaces blocks and a strap at home

Home practice doesn't need the full studio kit.

• Block — a stack of same-sized books tied with a ribbon.
• Strap — a dressing-gown belt or a long towel.
• Bolster — a blanket rolled tight.
• Blanket — any, as long as it doesn't slide.

The one thing not to save on is the mat: on a slippery one you can't relax in standing poses.
