A yoga support system includes a pair of yoga gloves and a pair of yoga slippers. Yoga gloves cover the hands of a yoga practitioner and include anti-skid material on parts of the gloves to enable a yoga practitioner to attain and maintain postures that involve pressing on a floor or wall. In particular, the yoga gloves may include anti-skid portions covering an outer part (further from the midline of the hand) of the yoga practitioner's thumb. The yoga slippers include an anti-skid sole, as well as anti-skid side portions on their sides. The slippers allow a yoga practitioner to maintain contact with the floor with the feet flat on the floor, or with the feet pronated or supinated. Other parts of the yoga gloves and yoga slippers are uncovered fabric, which may be a light, breathable and stretchable material.
