sometimes gym mats are nasty
Sometimes the gym mats are nasty, or aren't sticky enough, or aren't thick enough... You don't know where they've been.
You might also see yoga bricks or straps to assist with a stretch. Yoga studios also have other contraptions that can help achieve the proper pose.
A lot of people who do yoga will also wear tight clothes so that the lines of the body can be seen clearly (like dancers). This will help with alignment and posture while doing yoga poses.
You don't really need any of it, though.
