Let's Talk About Yoga Blocks!

Yoga blocks have been given a bad reputation! Many people don't want to use yoga blocks because they feel like they do not "need them."

People think that yoga blocks are used when someone needs to make specific yoga poses easier or they are only for beginners.

This is a myth! This is not true!

Many people who have been practicing yoga for a long time, use yoga blocks!

Benefits to Using Yoga Blocks

• Blocks help with body alignment in yoga postures.
• Blocks reduce the risk of you contorting your body in a weird way to make the pose look a certain way!
• Blocks bring the floor to you! People often think that they aren't flexible enough to touch the ground. In reality, our arms and legs are different lengths. It is sometimes helpful to raise the floor to our bodies.

More Benefits to Using Yoga Blocks

• Blocks help provide variety! You can add support into your practice with some poses and not others or on different days depending on how your body is feeling.
• You can use blocks in multiple ways to promote muscle activation and build strength!
• Blocks can support your body during relaxation or restorative practices.

Even More Benefits to Using Yoga Blocks

• Using blocks can increase the sensation or the stretch you feel in specific postures.
• Blocks can assist you in staying in a posture for a longer period of time.
• It might just feel good in your body to use blocks! You may just end up preferring them.
