Equipment

 

 

 

Yoga Mats

This is the yoga mat I use in my classes. It is the right thickness, very durable and easy to clean and carry. I have been using these yoga mats for the last 15 years in all my classes and can confirm they are very durable. It does the job and the price is very reasonable.

 

Bolster for Meditation

This is the bolster I use in my meditation classes and also in my meditation practice.  I have gifted these as they make excellent presents.  They are the right height to support a good sitting posture for meditation. It is easy to carry and clean and a very good price.  They have different colours.  Blue and burgundy are my favourite.

 

 

Yoga Strap

This is a great strap that I have started using for postural exercises.  It is easy to tie and strap at the required length.  It is great for lower body exercises, upper body workouts and for stretching and mobility exercises.  This is relatively new to my equipment collection and I will definitely be incorporating this in my classes.

 

Aerobic Steppers 

This is the stepper we use in our cardio classes for step workouts in Sefali’s Yoga studio.

It’s just as good as the other steppers we have used but it is significantly cheaper than

many others. Sefali also uses it in conjunction with stretches and postural exercises.

If you are heavier (like Dean) we would recommend a heavier stepper.

 

Heavy Stepper

If your heavier and want a really sturdy stepper this is the one Dean uses and recommends.

 

Kids Boxing Gloves (4-9 years old)

These gloves are very highly rated and inexpensive. However, we don’t as yet have

any first-hand experience with them. The gloves are for children aged 4-9 years old.

 

Kids Boxing Gloves (11+ years old)

I own the adult version of these gloves and I am happy with them.

Lonsdale is a respected brand so the kids ones should be good too.

The junior size should fit kids aged 11+ according to the reviews.

 

Adjustable skipping rope

A cheap functional skipping rope. Best for kids as the handles are small.
It’s adjustable so good for all sizes.

 

Swiss ball 

We recommend this ball to students who want to work their postural muscles and do corrective exercises.

 

Mouthtape for Breathing Exercises

This is the tape we use for Breathwork exercises.

It’s fully breathable and comes off easily.

It’s a great tool to help make the switch from unhealthy

mouth breathing to healthy nose breathing.

 

Speed and Agility Ladder

We use these ladders in our conditioning class to help build quick, agile and well coordinated feet!

 

Ankle and Wrist Weights

As you get stronger with your postural exercises you will need ankle and wrist weights.

This set allows you to adjust the weight to suit your current strength.

 

MOBILE STANDING DESK

I use this myself to allow me to work work standing-up.

It is fully adjustable to your height.

It took me a good hour to assemble it but I am really pleased with it.

It allows me to work while keeping a good healthy posture and sit only when I really need to.

 

 

Books

 

 

 

The Longevity Diet by Dr Valter Longo

This book explains the diet that Dean is on in great detail. The book is very accessible

with little to no technical jargon. It covers everything you need to know about the diet

along with meal plans at the back of the book

 

Supplements

 

 

 

Organic Turmeric Curcumin and Organic Black Pepper Capsules

Turmeric and black pepper each have health benefits, due to the compounds curcumin and piperine.
