Unlocking Poses and Patience One Block at a Time
Unlocking Poses and Patience One Block at a TimeYoga and I have a complicated relationship. I love the idea of flowing gracefully through poses, finding inner peace, and achieving pretzel-like flexibility. The reality, however, often involves wobbling precariously, straining to reach the floor, and generally feeling less like a serene yogi and more like a confused flamingo. I knew props could help, but for a while, I resisted, thinking they were for “real” yogis. Boy, was I wrong. Adding this Gaiam Yoga Block to my practice has been a revelation, proving that sometimes, a little bit of foam is all you need to unlock a whole new level of possibility.This block is deceptively simple. It’s a lightweight rectangle of foam, but its impact is anything but small. The supportive, dense EVA foam provides just the right amount of firmness to lean on without feeling like a brick. The non-slip surface is a lifesaver – whether my hands are a little sweaty or I’m trying a tricky balance pose, it stays put, giving me the confidence I need to explore my limits. The beveled edges are a thoughtful touch, making it comfortable to grip and use in various positions.Using this block has allowed me to access poses that felt impossible before. Need to reach the floor in a forward fold? Place the block under your hands. Struggling with balance in a standing pose? Use the block for support. Want to deepen a stretch in a seated pose? The block is your friend. It helps with alignment, making sure I’m not compensating or putting strain on the wrong areas. It’s like having a patient, silent partner in my practice, offering support exactly when and where I need it.It’s also incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry to and from class (when I manage to get there!) or just move around my living room during a home practice. It feels durable and has held up well to regular use.This Gaiam Yoga Block has truly enhanced my yoga journey. It’s helped me deepen my stretches, improve my balance, and feel more stable and supported in poses. It’s taken away some of the frustration and replaced it with a sense of progress and possibility. If you’re looking to enhance your yoga or Pilates practice, whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your existing poses, don’t hesitate to grab one (or two!) of these. They are simple tools that make a world of difference.

Great Blocks
Great blocks – Love the color and their sturdy, supportive build provides stability for all levels of poses.

Gash in one side
I was disappointed it arrived with a gash in one of the blocks. It doesn’t affect the use, just a cosmetic but disappointing

Good quality without smells
Good blocks and strap. No funny smells. Solid and seem to be of good quality.

Comprei estes blocos pra usar como apoio de pés na minha mesa de trabalho e atendeu em à minha expectativa. Já tive 02 apoios de pés que não deram muito certo em razão da profundidade da escrivaninha e do espaço que as rodinhas da cadeira precisa pra me dar conforto e manter a ergonomia adequada e tive a ideia de usar algo com um comprimento menor que deu super certo. Medi a altura que eu necessitava antes de comprar, pra manter um ângulo de 90°, que é o ideal.

Es un cubo muy cómodo y suave, también provee mucha firmeza para poder realizar actividades como yoga o entrenamiento de flexibilidad. La superficie es muy delicada, mi tortuga con subirse a él lo dejó todo rayado, recomiendo no dejarlo al alcance de las mascotas si quieren mantenerlo en perfecto estado. La decoración de los lados es muy bonita y la calidad alta.

Thought I was buying two blocks.
