Amazing Use of Yoga Blocks

Oops — I forgot to mention Yoga Blocks!

Yoga blocks are amazing tools that elevate the floor and act like an extension of your body, helping you get comfortable and supported in various poses. This is not cheating — it’s about allowing your body to fully release and relax, which is actually the best way to improve your flexibility. Pulling or forcing stretches can cause tension, but gentle supported poses with blocks encourage natural lengthening.

Blocks are soft and comfy, perfect for propping your body into different positions. You don’t need fancy designer blocks — even inexpensive ones from the dollar store work great. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced yogi, blocks can support and deepen your practice.

For example, in lizard pose, using blocks under your hands or forearms can help you ease into the stretch with more comfort and control.
