Yoga bricks are made of firm materials like cork or foam, and are smooth to ensure a comfortable grip.

It is highly recommended that beginners invest in a set of yoga blocks as well as bricks. As you build your strength and increase your range of motion and flexibility, yoga blocks will be essential to support you in seated positions and aid in improving these areas. Eventually, as you perfect positions you may not need to use them as often, but will need them as you advance and improve. Yoga bricks will also provide you with support and help bring the floor closer when you need it, such as in folding positions.

How many yoga blocks do you need?
We recommend investing in a set of two yoga blocks. When improving your strength and flexibility or tackling challenging Asanas, many of these poses or exercises require a block on each side.
