Props and yoga blocks

Props such as blocks or straps give you support, stability and reach. They help make poses more accessible, keep your alignment and release tension, and they also add a challenge when you want to go deeper. They are useful whether you are just starting or have been practising for years, and playing with them opens the door to new sensations and movements.

A block is extra support in any practice. In standing poses such as Trikonasana (triangle), resting your hand on a block helps you keep your alignment without forcing. It’s also useful in balance poses, stretches, supported backbends and to sit more comfortably. With a block you can reach further, go a little deeper and feel supported throughout your practice.

Yes. We choose products designed to help you practise more safely while your body gradually loosens up.

Only the quantity. The 2-pack works out cheaper per block and is perfect if you want support under each hand.

Our blocks are made of cork, a material harvested from the bark of the cork oak without harming the tree. You will find the exact composition on each product page.

We prefer to tell you exactly what they are made of: our blocks are made of cork, which is harvested from the bark of the cork oak without harming the tree. You can see the composition of each product on its page.

Cork is a firm material: it doesn’t sink when you put your weight on it, so it gives you a stable base. It also feels nice to the touch, is easy to grip and doesn’t slip. A foam block is softer and gives under pressure, so the support is less stable. Our cork block weighs about 540 g: that weight is exactly what keeps it in place and stops it tipping over.

Thoroughly, only when you feel they have been exposed to germs. If you practise at home and nobody is ill, there’s no need to disinfect them often. To clean them, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, without submerging them, and leave them to air dry away from direct sunlight.
