Instructions

Yoga blocks or yoga bricks are one of the most popular yoga props. They help to bring the floor closer to you in standing poses and provide additional support in seated and reclined poses. The most common materials for yoga blocks are foam, cork, and wood. If you decide to buy yoga blocks, I recommend buying them in a set of 2. With two blocks, you will have more options for modifications.
