Straps

Use straps in seated forward folds around the feet or in cow's face pose when the hands don't quite meet. You could use a strap in your hands when it's difficult to interlace fingers behind your back.

Blocks

Put blocks under your hands in forward folds, triangle or side angle pose; put under your head in down dog or wide straddle forward fold or under your hips in bridge pose. Use one in each hand next to your hips to practice hannuman (splits).
