Unblock your practice with a yoga block
If achieving the perfect Eka Hasta Vrksasana – One-Handed Tree Pose – is on your list of yoga goals, get ready for serious progress with a yoga block.
Yoga blocks are one of the most loved yoga accessories around. They help you develop the strength and balance needed to progress in your training.
Very few of us nail every pose on the first try (or several). That’s where a yoga block steps in and helps out. They’re a great way to modify poses and make them easier to reach. From classic foam options to yoga blocks made from real bamboo, check out our growing selection to elevate your yoga practice.
What is a yoga block?
A yoga block is a tool used to help you improve balance when you’re in certain poses. They are also used to support certain areas of the body when holding poses.
Yoga blocks are usually made from foam, wood, cork, or bamboo. All are extremely lightweight and portable – just toss them in your gym bag and go.
What is a yoga block used for?
Yoga blocks support the back, head, and hips during yoga. They also work as an extension of the arms when you need a few more inches of reach in difficult poses.
We hear a lot that yoga blocks are cheating. Let us clear this up… Using a yoga block is not cheating. It’s a way to progress with your yoga practice. From beginners to advanced yogis, if you’re serious about your training, add a yoga block to your next session.
Are yoga blocks good for beginners?
Yoga blocks are amazing for beginners. But they’re also great for all levels.
For restorative poses or to protect your lower back or knees, try a yoga block from ShapeNation.
How to shop for yoga blocks
When it comes to shopping for a yoga block, look for the right density, surface, and size to match your level and needs.
Yoga block density
High-density materials such as cork or EVA foam will provide a strong base for all positions.
- Cork is a great choice because of how lightweight and strong it is.
- EVA foam is a fan favorite because it’s lightweight, durable, and firm.
- Wooden yoga blocks are heavier and better when working on poses requiring more strength. Wood blocks also last longer than cork or foam blocks.
Consider what type of movements you want your yoga block to support. For beginners, we suggest foam yoga blocks because they’re extra firm and help you balance better.
Non-slip surfaces
Shop for a yoga block with a slip-resistant surface. The last thing you want is to get in a tricky pose and lose your balance.
If you sweat a lot, or you’re headed to Bikram (hot yoga), shop for foam yoga blocks with textured surfaces or ones made with fine-grain cork.
Yoga block size
How much height do you need on your yoga block? This depends on your yoga level and your height.
Yoga blocks come in different dimensions so you can always switch out your block when needed.
- Choose a thicker, higher block if you struggle with flexibility.
- A smaller, thinner block is perfect if you’re naturally smaller or only need a little bit of extra help.
Depending on your level and goals, check out wedges, pillows, and bolsters. These yoga accessories may be better suited for what you need. If you’re in doubt, ask your yoga instructor for their advice.
Are yoga blocks worth it?
How important is your yoga practice? Your yoga block is just as important.
Many poses and asanas require mobility and flexibility. A yoga block helps you reach the ground, stand firm, and find the balance you need to go further in your practice.
Yoga blocks aren’t very expensive. Especially not if you consider the benefits and advantages of incorporating one into your yoga practice.
