are yoga blogs useful? let's check out 
hi friends welcome back to my channel if   you're new here my name is idan i'm yoga teacher 
who love to share this practice with the world   and in this video we're gonna check if yoga blocks 
are useful or not the short answer is yes the long   one keep watching the video so yoga blocks well 
i love yoga blocks and you should have a pair two   with you no matter if you're a complete beginner 
or just like me practice yoga for over 15 years   and basically what yoga blocks does 
is bringing the floor up towards us   help us to mind the gap between where we are 
where our body and where we want to be so for   example one yoga pose that you're gonna encounter 
in almost every other class is the triangle pose   now as a beginner i couldn't reach with my hand to 
the ground without collapsing totally collapsing   to the ground because lack of flexibility in the 
legs the back and in this case blocks really helps   because you can place the hand on top of the 
odd of the block and stay in a good position   during the hour class without collapsing 
compensating and just going out of alignment   so blocks really really helps to bring the floor 
up towards us so this is one way we use blocks   another way is when we work on our flexibility so 
for example one of the exercises i really love is   just half split just moving into half split 
and i still working on my flexibility even   after 15 years but new ones new people 
to yoga can't stretch and really collapse   and really struggling in such position where if 
you're gonna have yoga blocks with you you can   work on your flexibility easily without suffering 
and just focus on what's really important   and it's stretching the legs and not just 
breaking your back your back along the way another   way we use blocks is when our hips are tight 
and really closed up for example in pigeon pose when we need to reach with the hips down 
to the ground now you can see the gap in   here because my hips are not that flexible just 
yet so you can take a yoga block to support you   or even two if you need just to support you and 
keep you high in here so this is a great way   to practice so as you can see yoga blocks are 
super super useful and you can also sit on top   of them if you need to sit with your back erect 
in cross-legged position well without blocks it   can be challenging it fails then you're gonna 
keep collapsing but when you elevate the hips   of the mat using a block you can sit up tall and 
sit for meditation or whatever you need to do   even stretching your leg forward and improving 
your flexibility yoga blocks really helps so yes yoga blocks are super useful if 
you don't have a pair yet go grab a pair   buy a pair you can buy cheap ones just like 
this for about a dollar each online or you can   go higher and buy really solid one made out 
of coke for a higher prices really up to you   you can start with those super simple 
and buy something more fancy later on   so i hope you enjoyed this video and you
