Yoga
blocks are foam blocks used for aligning and strengthening the body
during yoga routines. Using a block reduces stress to bones and muscles
by allowing the body to be propped up or cushioned during yoga poses.
For example, many people use foam blocks to help extend their reach
or when transitioning from beginner to advanced positions.
Yoga relies on all muscles of the body aligning in order to improve
health and fitness. Yoga blocks easily become part of a yoga routine
as they are light-weight and easy to grip. Blocks can be used for
both sitting and standing positions and can be placed under the hips,
hands, and heels.
Most yoga practitioners include Yoga Blocks with their yoga mat and
yoga strap as part of their yoga equipment. They also come in a variety
of colors with or without beveled edges. Blocks are odor-free and
will not disrupt the yoga routine.
