Stable and light - your yoga block
A famous verse from Patanjali's Yoga Sutra states that an asana should be "sthira-sukha", meaning "stable and light". It's similar with yoga blocks! Your yoga block should of course reliably withstand everything you plan to do with it in the asanas, but at the same time it should weigh as little as possible so that you can transport it without too much ballast (if you take it to yoga class, for example) and also so that it is safe to use. Both criteria are absolutely guaranteed by the materials used for our yoga blocks. Experience lightness and stability in the asanas - with your light and stable yoga block!
Your yoga block is grippy
Grip is also an important criterion for a yoga block, because of course you don't want your hands to slip off the block, even when they're wet. The materials of our yoga blocks not only feel comfortable, but also offer you enough grip.
Why use a yoga block anyway?
What can you actually do with a yoga block? What is the use of this yoga aid? With a yoga block you can make asanas more challenging, for example by increasing the intensity of a stretch, or you can make them easier. You can either shorten or lengthen distances and, depending on the posture, make the execution less challenging or more demanding. For example, if your hands don't reach the floor but you need to support yourself with them, the yoga block can serve as a bridge. The yoga block can also be used to press against it with both hands, thighs or knees, thereby creating pressure towards the midline that stabilizes the posture.
Yoga blocks are used particularly frequently in Iyengar yoga, but they can also be extremely useful and are widely used in other styles. Yoga blocks are usually purchased in pairs, as two blocks are needed for a variety of different uses. Sometimes, however, a single yoga block is sufficient (see the example above, in which both thighs or knees are pressed against a block). Most yoga teachers can give a variety of examples of how the yoga block can be used and can show you how you can use the yoga block particularly effectively for your individual needs. The yoga block can help you refine yoga postures or gradually work your way towards asanas that were previously impossible or seemed difficult to you.
