I advise putting your speakers on these, bookshelf speakers sound much better lifted off the desk. Also move them a little bit farther from the wall.

My gym has them laying around for classes and I have also seen dudes "board press" off of them.
I recommend the lavender floral one.
I have myself a hugger mugger zafu from amazon and it is fantastic.
Find a good bolster for under your knees. Something like they'd use when you get a massage. I just use a yoga bolster since I had one already. I put links in for reference...non-affiliate.
Depending on the day, placement varies, sometimes I have to put it higher up (so it's almost under my hips) & some days it's just right under my knees themselves.
For side sleeping, something like this is supposed to help. I refuse to buy something so silly and have used very firm pillows with varying degrees of success. I used to be a 100% side sleeping but, I really just can't do it anymore.
FWIW, I have a jacked up left SI joint with pain that sounds very similar to yours. I just had a nerve ablation yesterday after a year+ of conservative treatment. I posted about it the night before last if you wanna read anything about it to verify.
I have a back brace as well. I lovingly refer to it as my turtle shell since it goes from literally under my boobs to just above my crotch and is hardshell. It's like a corset. People see it and think it's a medieval torture device but it's so helpful. I use it when the joint is so bothered and my back muscles are so exhausted that they start spasming. However, I couldn't imagine trying to sleep in the thing. The purpose of mine is to give support vertically to give my muscles a chance to chill the hell out. Using it for TOO long defeats the purpose of PT, which is building core strength, since it's letting the muscles be lazy. I usually only wear it if I'm having a really hard day or if I'm traveling.
TL;DR - yeah...sorry 'bout that. :)
I'd skip this and get on Amazon and order some Foam Yoga Blocks.
Neither of these is "room treatment" ... see the response from /u/Jewishjay concerning making some panels etc. for the room.
Happy Birthday!
I literally just opened my amazon order before reading this. I got these yoga blocks and strap. Price is awesome for 2 blocks and strap. Can't ask for more. And this 12lb double handle medicine ball. I haven't used it yet but I love how it feels. Also price is great compared to other sellers. Gonna get a yoga wheel next.
Protein powder-wise, I've only ever tried this one in chocolate and hated it. I tried it plain with just water and then tried to make a shake with banana, peanut butter, etc and I couldn't finish it for anything. Just disgusting and I'm not a picky eater. hate the texture. This is the only protein powder I've ever tried though so grain of salt and all. Hope you get some good stuff!
You can afford 650s, but can't afford a yoga block?

The cheapest (nice) yoga blocks I've found on Amazon are here (I own 3 pair, for 2 sets of speakers) - Larger speakers will probably need 2 each for good base support:
My KEF's are set atop two each - like so -
I would love this yoga block because I am on my fourth week of P90x and I hate the yoga days because I am not flexible enough to reach some of the moves, so this block would help with that and help me not to just quit when I can't do the move :-)
Thanks for the contest!
My goal is to lose 60-65 lbs!
try something like these
The ones I've used most are (I believe) the Hugger Mugger standard. I prefer the shape and the firmness of these bolsters to any other (although most are just fine, these are slightly better). They aren't cheap, but apparently they do have washable covers. I'm sure the Manduka variety is just as good, but I'm not sure about the "Yoga Accessories" version. At half the price of the others, you have to imagine they cut some corners.
As for durability, they do seem to last forever (or at least five years), class after class, although I may not know about the ones that break and have to be secretly thrown away.
Pilates? Are you kidding me? That is some high valued shit! You need a specialized yoga brick for that.
(edit: link)
THIS would help me figure out modifications to teach as well as help me practice Ardha Hanumansana <3
Nu-Source-Yoga-Block-Black-3-Inch same size as the others, seems to have good reviews for holding weight. Something to keep in mind
I had the same thought.
I have a few foam yoga blocks from my thrift store runs. There's even one of a new-to-me type that's partly hollow and could probably function as a stand for two at once. http://www.amazon.com/Gaiam-All-Grip-Yoga-Brick/dp/B002LYZL70
Which got me to thinking about games where some points are more valuable than others...
Thanks I will try that brand of salt. I had to google what cork block was - is it similar looking to this?

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post
I would recommend [Auralex] (http://www.amazon.com/Auralex-Studiofoam-Inches-Wedgies-Charcoal/dp/B0002D05KA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396896193&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=acoustic+foam) if you don't have a tight budget.... but if you do, I'd go with [this kind] (http://www.amazon.com/2x12x12-BURGUNDY-CHARCOAL-Acoustic-Soundproofing/dp/B00ATP5KF6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396896193&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=acoustic+foam). I have both types in my set up and they work quite wonderfully together. The colors are nice accents as well!
Also, you will want to pull your table out from the wall a bit... and make sure you have the monitor tweeters at an equilateral triangle with your ears!
Somewhere down the line you can invest in bass traps as well. [Here are some yoga blocks as well] (http://www.amazon.com/YogaAccessories-TM-Foam-Yoga-Brick/dp/B000OFBC12/ref=sr_1_7?s=exercise-and-fitness&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396896353&amp;sr=1-7&amp;keywords=yoga+block). Just make sure they will adequately support your monitors (aka being large enough).
If you have any questions, pm me whenever.
That foam does not seem thick enough to do a good enough job IIRC.
Something like these from Amazon should do the trick. I know people use them for studio monitors (look at the first review) but it should work the same.
And if you want a more 'natural' look, these Yoga Blocks are made from cork; pretty nice looking to my taste. Could probably even be stained to specific shades.
