They can be used to facilitate challenging poses, release your body from tension and prevent injuries on the yoga mat. Yoga blocks can also add challenge to the poses, help with alignment and balancing poses. Yoga Blocks are mainly used for seated poses to add extra height, create support and stability, or just to line up your foundation. A Yoga block can transform your Sukhasana, stretching out the hips and allowing you to get a long straight spine, or the pigeon (Kapotasana) aligning your hips. Two Yoga Blocks can also help you with the butterfly pose (Bada Konasana) or the forward bend (Uttanasana)bringing the floor to your knees and hands.
