Yoga Blocks

A yoga block brings the floor closer, so you can keep good shape in standing poses, forward folds and seated stretches. Cork blocks are firm and have a natural grip; there is a standard cork yoga block and a hex cork yoga block. The bamboo yoga block is hard and smooth. The coloured blocks come in purple, blue, aqua green and red, and there is also a shaped yoga block.

Many poses use two blocks, one under each hand, so most people buy a pair. For support in restorative poses, see yoga bolsters, and for straps and wheels, yoga props and accessories.
