Why yoga blocks are essential for your practice

Yoga blocks have evolved from pure beginners' aids to indispensable tools for all levels of practice. While beginners use them to bridge gaps and make asanas more accessible, advanced yogis use the blocks to deepen their practice and create new challenges. Yoga blocks have become indispensable, especially in Iyengar yoga, but also in vinyasa, hatha and restorative yoga. They enable precise alignment, protect against injuries and help you to explore the full range of an asana - regardless of your physical condition or form on the day.

The YOGISTARyoga block range in detail

Classic hard foam blocks - the versatile all-rounders

Our hard foam blocks form the foundation of the YOGISTARcollection. The popular basic yoga block has established itself as an absolute bestseller over the years - its perfect balance of stability and lightness makes it the ideal companion for studio and home practice. For those who need more height or want to bridge greater distances, we offer the Yogiblock big and the extra-large Super Size block. The flat version is particularly suitable for gentle support in backbends, while our Art Collection with spiritual designs such as Lotus Mandala and Hand of Fatima is also visually inspiring.

Specialised forms for therapeutic applications

Innovative shapes significantly expand the range of applications. The extra-wide shoulder stand block has been specially developed for safe inversion postures, while the oval egg yoga block and the semi-circular cork block are perfect for heart openers and backbends - their rounded surfaces nestle comfortably against the body, without any distracting edges. The revolutionary wedge-shaped Wedge Cork is the solution for anyone who suffers from wrist problems or wants to intensify their stretches in seated forward bends.

Natural materials - sustainable and non-slip

• Cork yoga block: Natural, non-slip, available in three sizes
• Bamboo yoga block: Particularly sturdy, made from sustainable bamboo

Practical applications in your daily practice

The versatility of yoga blocks is particularly evident in their daily use. In Triangle (Trikonasana) or Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana), the block serves as an extended hand when the floor is not yet reached - this keeps the spine straight and allows the shoulders to open. Placed in the shoulder bridge between the knees, it helps to activate the leg muscles and find the correct alignment. Blocks are also particularly valuable in downward-facing dog: positioned under the hands, they relieve pressure on the wrists, while a block under the forehead in child's pose ensures deep relaxation.

Practical sets of 2 at a special price

Many of our yoga blocks are also available as a set of 2 - ideal for symmetrical support and more versatile applications:

• Perfect for both hands: even support in triangle, half moon and many other asanas
• To stack: Different heights for progressive stretching or customisation
• Attractive price: Cheaper as a set than two individual blocks
• More versatile: More options for creative applications

Easy cleaning with a damp cloth guarantees hygienic cleanliness - particularly important for intensive use in the studio or during strenuous exercise.
