Yoga-Steine

Yoga bricks are a yoga tool designed to improve access to poses and stretches, and to bring a new sensation and range of movement to your practice. The main difference between a yoga block and a yoga brick is their dimensions. Yoga blocks tend to have a flatter, thinner shape that makes them perfect for elevating the hips during seated poses. Yoga bricks are chunkier; perfect for placing under your back or shoulder blades to really open up the stretch.

Many yogis will have both bricks and blocks in their yoga kit, thus having a variety of height options available to them throughout their practice. Beginners often hear the myth that practicing with yoga bricks is in some way ‘cheating’ – this is simply not true! Even the most experienced yogis utilise tools such as blocks and yoga wedges during their practice. They provide wonderful support and can be key in ensuring you don’t injure yourself trying to access certain poses. They can also bring awesome new sensations and even deeper stretches.

Don’t be afraid of using yoga equipment to level up your practice – it is the key to unlocking the next step on your yoga journey.
