Yoga as we know is a wonderful way to connect to the energy that is in the body as well as to connect to the energy that surrounds the body. The ability to perform the exercises that make up the practice of Yoga can be difficult for many people because of injuries, pregnancy or weight gain. This art of expression has turned into a multi-million dollar business venture for many people, who want to assist in spreading Yoga’s benefits throughout the world. There are many products on the market that assist people who want to practice Yoga, but have difficulty performing the poses without help. Yoga blocks have been designed for those who need assistance.

Yoga blocks are used by people who aren’t flexible or are in the mid to late stages of pregnancy or have injuries. Yoga blocks align the body and help support the weight so various poses can be performed. A Yoga Block can be used under the heels in the Mountain Pose, so the spine is aligned properly. A Yoga block can support the sacrum and lift the pelvis by sitting on a block when performing twists. The Half Moon pose and the Triangle Pose can be performed if Yoga blocks are used as lifts for the hands, so that the full pose can be achieved. If you’re pregnant or injured, squats can also be performed using a Yoga Block by placing it on the ground on its side, so it can be used to support your weight and keep your balance. A Yoga Block can be placed under the head while meditating or while doing abdominal exercises.

The use for Yoga Blocks doesn’t end there. The bridge pose can be performed using two blocks. Yoga blocks help correct posture and they modify poses in the standing and seated position. Yoga Blocks can be used for a variety of poses depending on your physical condition.

Yoga has opened the door for a variety of Yoga Block designs. There is a cork block, a foam block, a handcrafted wooden block and wood Probrick block and all of them offer comfort, versatility and support while doing different poses. The typical size of a Yoga Block is 9 x 6”x 4” and weight about 2 pounds. They have beveled edges, so they can be packed and stored easily. Yoga Blocks generally cost around $7 each depending on the material and come in several different colors. SunShineYoga.com is a great store to buy Yoga Blocks and Yoga Products at a discount.
