Yoga blocks
Yoga blocks are one of the most popular props among beginner
and advanced yoga practitioners. They are about 10 inches long, three
to four inches high and about six inches wide. The dimensions are important
because the yoga blocks are used during stretches and it's important
that the props have consistent length.
Yoga
blocks can be made from different materials. This includes
foam, wood, cork and even bamboo. Because foam is the most inexpensive
it is most commonly seen in yoga studios.
If you want to try a yoga blocks before you buy them, look around to
see if you have any supplies around the house that are the approximate
dimensions of retail yoga blocks. Early yoga practitioners actually
used bricks or pieces of wood. Another alternative is to simply shop
from a store that allows exchanges.
