Inspiration
A prop used with skill is a great ally, it gives you some kind of functional and pleasing advantage.
A prop gives you many inspiring answers to the question, “What if?”
What if I had a little bit more flexibility or strength?
What if I could avail myself of tools that would help me expand my vision for doing a pose?
What if I could create more enjoyment, bliss, participation, receptivity, stillness, dynamic action?
