Here are some ways you can use yoga blocks:
Yoga blocks provide lift to seated postures. For example in your seated position, place your blocks beneath your knees, lower your legs so that they rest comfortable on the blocks. Hold onto your feet with both hands and sit up very tall.
Added Support – You can place a block under your sacrum for added support when you perform more difficult poses such as the Bridge. Yoga blocks can also provide additional support and stability.
Extended Reach – These blocks are great if you are not yet flexible enough to perform some of the yoga postures. For example, instead of placing your hand palm-down on the floor, your hand will be braced on the block in a modified pose.
Maintain Correct Position – If you are a beginner yoga student, you may find yoga blocks useful by helping you correctly hold a yoga position. Yoga blocks can also be used under your feet, hands, hips and butt. Use the blocks to achieve perfect yoga form.
Strength Building – By placing yoga blocks between your legs or arms while stretching you can add more resistance. This may be a little bit of a challenge, but this is a way to increase your muscle strength.
