A Block Brings the Floor to You
This is a high-density EVA foam yoga block measuring 23 x 15 x 7cm, priced at $18.99, in seven colors. There is a persistent idea that props are for people who are not flexible enough. The reverse is true: a block lets you hold the correct shape of a pose instead of compromising your spine to reach the ground. In a triangle pose, a hand that cannot reach the floor without collapsing the ribcage is a hand that should be on a block – and the pose becomes more effective, not less.
Key Benefits
- Three heights in one block. 7cm, 15cm or 23cm depending on which face it stands on – choose the height the pose needs.
- High-density EVA. Firm enough to take real weight without squashing, unlike a soft foam block.
- Protects your alignment. Hold the correct shape rather than distorting your spine to reach the floor.
- Support and restoration. Sit on it in seated poses, or lie over it in supported backbends.
- Light and quiet. Seven colors, and it will not damage a floor.
How to Use
- Standing poses: place it under the lower hand in triangle or half moon so the chest can stay open rather than folding forward.
- Seated poses: sit on the block to lift the hips above the knees, which lets the lower back stay upright instead of rounding.
- Between the thighs: squeeze it in bridge or plank to engage the adductors.
- Restorative: place it under the sacrum in supported bridge, or under the back in a gentle chest opener.
- Choose the block height that lets you hold the pose properly – there is no virtue in using the lowest setting badly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are yoga blocks only for beginners?
No – this is one of the most persistent myths in yoga. Props exist to let you hold the correct shape of a pose rather than compromising your spine to reach the floor. Experienced practitioners and teachers use them constantly.
How do I use a block in triangle pose?
Place it under your lower hand at whichever height lets you keep your chest open and your spine long. Reaching the floor at the cost of collapsing the ribcage makes the pose less effective, not more.
Why does a block have three heights?
Because it can stand on any of its three faces – 7cm, 15cm or 23cm. Use the height the pose and your body actually need on the day.
Should I sit on it in seated poses?
If your hips are tight, yes. Sitting on a block lifts the hips above the knees, which lets the pelvis tilt forward and the lower back stay upright instead of rounding – which is what most people are fighting in cross-legged sitting.
Is EVA foam firm enough?
High-density EVA takes body weight without squashing, which is exactly what you need in standing poses. Soft, low-density blocks compress under load and are close to useless.
