Yoga blocks help maintain proper alignment in various poses by bringing the floor closer to you, allowing you to focus on the pose’s alignment without straining.
Increased accessibility:
Blocks make poses more accessible for beginners or individuals with limited flexibility or mobility. They provide additional support, making it easier to ease into poses.
Improved stability:
In balancing poses, blocks offer stability and support, reducing the risk of falling or losing balance. This is particularly beneficial for those working on challenging balance postures.
Deepened stretches:
Blocks can be used to modify poses, making it possible to deepen stretches gradually and comfortably, especially in poses targeting the hamstrings, hips, and shoulders.
Assistance in strength-building:
They assist in building strength by providing additional support in poses that require muscular engagement, such as arm balances or inversions.
Reduced strain in backbends:
When placed strategically, blocks can support the back in backbending poses, preventing unnecessary strain on the lower back and allowing for a more controlled opening of the chest.
