Yoga Block

When you need a lift or something to lean on, you can rely on our yoga blocks! Our range is made from natural sustainable high-density cork blocks. For something different, check out our all-in-one cotton block, which serves as a traditional yoga block as well as a mini-bolster and zafu!

Benefits of Using Yoga Blocks

Here’s what a yoga block can help you achieve in your practice:

Connection, Length, and Alignment

In standing poses such as Trikonasana and Parsvakonasana, a block allows the lower hand to connect to the ground, even if it can’t quite reach. Using the block as a steady landing pad helps minimise straining or overstretching in an effort to touch the floor, and encourages integrity with alignment and function of the pose.

Strengthen and Engage

For Utkatasana, use a block to help strengthen and engage the arm and leg muscles, giving you more control and stability in the posture.

Lift, Open, and Hold

You’ll have to try it to believe it, but solid cork, bamboo, or balsa wood blocks are surprisingly comfortable to rest on! In passive backbends like Supported Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (bridge pose) and Supported Matsyasana (fish pose), the blocks invite a gentle blossoming and elevation at the heart centre, while holding you securely so it’s easier to surrender into the pose.

Rest, Soften, and Release

In restorative poses such as Supta Baddha Konasana and Stonehenge pose, blocks help to hold you in nurturing positions and close the gap between body and floor, inviting deep surrender and rest.
