There are different reasons for people to start yoga. Some start because of beautiful yoga asana; some for the health; some start from meditation and some may because of a yoga book. No matter which way, he or she steps into yoga. 

For those who seldom exercise and have a stiffness body, it’s hard to practice yoga even the simple poses. For such beginners, I’d like to recommend the yoga props to help on the practice. Even for the experienced yogi, these props can also support them to deepen the asana.
