Yoga is a great way to relieve tension, strengthen the body, and alleviate stress. With so many great fitness apps available, it's easy to breathe, stretch, and let it go in the comfort of your own living space. These are our favorite fitness accessories for practicing yoga at home.
Earbuds
Whether you're taking yoga class on a fitness app or practicing on your own with music, audio is essential. Apple AirPods Pro deliver the high-quality audio you need. They feature active noise cancellation and transparency mode and offer a customizable fit.
External speaker
If an external speaker is more your speed, you can't go wrong with HomePod mini. It offers room-filling, 360-degree sound, as well as voice command. Ask Siri to play your favorite yoga tunes or set a gentle alarm to lure you out of savasana. This little speaker is portable and comes in five different colors.
Track your practice
Apple Watch Series 7 is here and can track all the ways you move — yoga included. Monitor your heart rate, calorie burn, and Sp02 levels while you practice. Series 7 tracks and stores this data so you can watch health and fitness trends over time.

Pair the mat with the YogaFi app to take a variety of classes for all levels. The app membership is sold separately at $10 a month.
Breathe and relax
This smart essential oil diffuser delivers soothing aromatherapy while you practice. You can control this device through your phone or tablet with the Tuya Smart app. It's also compatible with Amazon Echo and Alexa for convenience. It purifies and humidifies the air. It has a large 500ml water container and can operate for up to 16 hours when full.
Smarty pants
Practicing yoga just got a whole lot smarter. These yoga pants use integrated sensors and vibrational feedback to help you improve your form while you practice. They're perfect for yoga at home. They're USB chargeable and connect via companion app to your phone. You can set vibration strength, get audio guidance, and the best part — they're machine washable.
Better posture in poses
This posture trainer can improve your form in yoga poses. It works with the Upright Go app so you can track your training sessions and progress. You gently stick it on your back with a mild adhesive. It will send you gentle vibrations if you're slouching or not straightening your spine. Tracking mode turns off vibration alerts but records your stats in the app.

Rock these over-ear headphones for a fully immersive audio experience while you practice. These wireless sport headphones deliver high-quality sound and are very comfortable to wear.
