Yoga Block

A yoga block or yoga brick is a rectangular block that aids participants in various asana. The block can be made from cork or wood, but most are made from foam. Blocks are useful in improving alignment for certain poses.

Not everyone has the same proportions; some have long arms, while others may have short torsos, etc. For some achieving perfect alignment may not be possible without a yoga block. The block acts as an extension of an arm or leg.

Those who are pregnant will often use their yoga block in their prenatal yoga class. The block provides stability to the off-balance expecting mom. It can also prevent a pose from being too straining on the woman’s already strained muscles.
