Yoga blocks

Yoga blocks add variety to your yoga workout

Yoga blocks are the perfect addition to yoga mats, bolsters and meditation cushions, especially for large group classes. Because participants have different ability levels, it’s not always easy to offer stretching exercises that are equally challenging for everyone. Difficult poses become more accessible with yoga blocks, so even beginners enjoy training and can learn the basics at their own pace. At the same time, you can use blocks to intensify exercises, ensuring advanced yogis and professionals stay challenged and engaged. Another key benefit: a yoga block helps correct poor posture and misalignment.

What do I need a yoga block for?

For which exercises is it useful? Yoga blocks are used primarily in Hatha yoga. This style combines breathing and meditation exercises with physical postures, the so-called asanas. Since these poses can be demanding, especially for beginners, aids such as yoga blocks are invaluable. For example, this practical accessory relieves pressure on the neck and shoulders in shoulder stands, which is why many people also refer to the yoga block as a shoulder stand plate.
