YOGA BLOCKS

Bricks, blocks and props are indispensable accessories for yoga practice that are useful for beginners and experienced yogis alike. In yoga, it is not so much flexibility that is key, but the correct technique of performing an asana, as well as the ability to relax. Yoga blocks help to maintain correct postures, achieve relaxation, adapt or complicate exercises, and reduce stress on joints and the risk of injury.

Blocks can be made from a variety of materials including wood, plastic, foam and cork. Natural wood blocks are pleasant to the touch, but they are usually heavy. Man-made blocks, on the other hand, are lighter, making them easier to transport.

YOGA STRAPS

Yoga straps are a great aid for those new to yoga. They act as an extension of the arms and legs, compensating for lack of flexibility and stretching. Using a strap allows you to achieve proper posture alignment and relax into the pose, which aids in rapid progress.

When choosing a yoga belt, it is important to pay attention to its length, ease of adjustment and the material from which it is made. Of particular importance is not only the strength of the belt, but also its tactile properties, since it will be in contact with the skin. A surface that is too stiff or rough can cause chafing and skin injuries.

QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CHOOSING YOGA STRAPS AND YOGA BLOCKS

WHAT IS A YOGA BLOCK FOR?

Using a yoga block makes it easier for beginners to perform difficult and deep asanas, helping them to hold the correct pose. The block raises the floor if you can't reach it yet, relieves tension in joints and muscles, providing a more stable balance and supporting an extended back and open chest. For experienced yoga practitioners, blocks allow you to deepen some poses, increasing flexibility and stretching.

HOW TO CHOOSE A YOGA BLOCK?

When choosing a block, it is important to determine if you intend to carry it and what your budget is. Foam and cork blocks are lightweight and more affordable. Bamboo and wood bricks are heavier and cost more, but are stronger and more durable. When choosing a size, you should focus on the size of your palm to ensure comfort when leaning. The most universal option is a 9-10 cm thick block.

HOW MANY YOGA BLOCKS DO I NEED?

To start with, you will need 2 yoga blocks of the same size. You may want to buy more blocks or different size blocks as you get deeper into your practice.

WHAT IS THE IDEAL YOGA BLOCK SIZE?

The standard width of the block is 15 cm, the length is 22-23 cm, but the thickness varies from 7 cm to 12 cm. Choose the thickness based on the size of your palm so that you can comfortably rest on the block.

WHAT IS A YOGA BELT USED FOR?

Using a yoga belt allows beginners to gradually master difficult asanas by lengthening their arms and legs for stretching. The belt also helps to relieve strain in stretched muscles and maintain proper spinal alignment. In upright asanas, the belt helps to maintain balance better.

WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL LENGTH OF A YOGA BELT?

Yoga straps are available in lengths ranging from 2 to 4 meters. If you are a beginner and are not sure which length to choose, it is recommended to opt for the 2.5 meter option. This is the most versatile, suitable even for tall people.

HOW TO CHOOSE A YOGA BELT?

When choosing a yoga belt, it is important to consider several parameters such as material, length, type of fastening and appearance. When choosing a material, you should pay attention to the tactile sensation, as the belt will be in direct contact with your skin. For example, nylon has a cool texture but is less prone to soiling and easier to maintain. While cotton is pleasant to the touch and soft, but requires more frequent washing. The length of the belt should be chosen based on your height, and a length of around 2-2.5 meters is considered universal.
