Yoga blocks
Yoga blocks may seem like a superfluous accessory, but they are actually an invaluable asset for anyone looking to get more out of their workout. Blocks allow for modified poses to match individual flexibility. They afford deeper stretches for a fine-tuned workout. Injuries can occur while trying to achieve optimum body alignment. Yoga blocks will reduce the risk.
Blocks generally come in three different sizes: three, six and nine inch. Manufacturers will provide sizing charts to help you chose the right one. They are crafted from a variety of materials, most commonly foam. Foam blocks are popular because they are lightweight, easy to carry, and can bend without breaking. Other materials commonly used for yoga blocks include plastic, wood (solid or hollow), and cork.
Bamboo yoga blocks are increasing in popularity, especially among filthy hippies. New age dirt bags sing the praises of bamboo because they are more environmentally friendly than foam. Bamboo is a sustainable natural resource which is lightweight, strong and stable. It also provides a beautiful natural look and feel.
