How to Find Your Perfect Prop Height

1. Gather books or magazines in different heights. If your hips are tight, you may need a taller stack.
2. Stack them a little higher than you think you need.
3. Sit on the stack in Easy Pose. Cross one foot close to the base of the stack, then place the other foot in front of it. Do not stack your feet.
4. Notice how your body feels. Your legs should feel supported by the floor, and your spine should feel neutral and relaxed.
5. Remove one book or magazine and try again.
6. Keep lowering the stack until you find the height where your body can relax without strain, while the knees are resting on the earth!
7. When you find the right height, measure from the floor to the top of the stack. This will help you choose the right prop height.
