Buying a Yoga Block – For Support and Balance in Yoga
A yoga block is, after the yoga mat, one of the most commonly used accessories in yoga. It provides support, brings the ground closer, and helps you perform yoga poses more easily and safely.
Don’t think that a yoga block is only for beginners! Experienced yogis also use yoga blocks to deepen their practice and reach new heights. A good yoga block often quite literally “has your back.”
What is a Yoga Block Used For?
A yoga block supports your body and often gives you just that little bit of extra reach you need. This makes it easier to perform poses correctly and maintain your balance. For exercises like Trikonasana or practicing backbends, a yoga block is invaluable.
In addition, a yoga block is ideal for many other poses. How and when you use the block depends on your yoga style. For example, a block is used more often in Yin Yoga than in Vinyasa Yoga.
What Types of Yoga Blocks Are There?
There are different types of yoga blocks, each with its own characteristics and uses. Below are the most popular options:
