Yoga and Pilates Blocks for Practicing with More Control
A yoga block lets you adapt a pose to where you are today instead of forcing it. Placed under your hand, hip or back, it helps you keep your alignment in poses like Triangle or Bridge. In Pilates, blocks are also useful for working on core control and balance.
If you're looking to build mobility gradually, it's worth combining them with our guide on how to improve your flexibility.
How to Choose Your Yoga Blocks
- Material: we have EVA foam, cork and marble-finish blocks. The 2-piece EVA ones are lightweight and non-slip.
- Size: the INDIGO foam model measures 22.8*15.2*7.6 cm. In cork, there are options of 22.8*15.2*7.1 cm, 23*15*8 cm and 22.8*15.2*10.1 cm, the latter being the largest.
- One or two: if you want to support both hands or both sides at once, a set of 2 will be more comfortable.
- Where you'll use it: if you're planning to practice at home, pair it with one of our yoga mats and exercise mats.
For Pilates exercises or stretching, resistance bands are a great complement to your yoga block.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a cork yoga block and an EVA foam one?
The EVA foam block is very lightweight (the 2-piece sets list 0.1 kg) and has a non-slip textured surface. The brown cork block has a more natural feel and tends to feel firmer when you lean on it. If you practice at home and move your block around a lot, EVA is convenient. If you want more solid support, go for cork.
What block height is best if I'm just starting out?
If you find it hard to reach the floor in standing or seated poses, a taller block will help, such as the INDIGO cork block at 10.1 cm. For general use, blocks of 7.1 to 8 cm are versatile. You can also rest them on different sides to adjust the height for each pose.
Can I use the blocks for Pilates or for stretching at home if I do gymnastics?
Yes. Their descriptions mention use in Pilates, gymnastics and functional training. You can place a block under your hands or hips, or between your knees to work on core control. In stretching sessions, it helps you reach more comfortably and keep your alignment without forcing the position.
How do I clean and care for my yoga blocks?
The easiest way is to wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry. Avoid leaving them for long periods in direct sunlight, near a heat source or in damp places, especially the cork ones. This will help them keep their grip and look for longer.
Do yoga blocks come in different colors or with a marble finish?
Yes. The INDIGO foam block is available in light blue, cyclamen, gray, purple, orange, black and light green. The marble finish comes in gray and pink, both as a single block and as a set of 2 pieces. The cork blocks are brown.
