Did you know that Gaiam created the foam yoga block? We've been perfecting it ever since.

Now wider, our wildly popular Yoga Essentials® Yoga Block is lightweight and provides the stability needed for optimal alignment, deeper poses and increased strength. If you feel tight, don't risk injury. Grab a Gaiam yoga block and enjoy your session. Durable foam with a nonslip surface. Purple, robin's egg or grass. Choose from one block or a set of two. China.

Needed a yoga block Date: March 2, 2010
"I needed a block for some of the DVD's I do at home, and this one really fit the bill, as well as matching my new yoga mat! Love the color choices available, and it has helped me with the hip opening, an area I tend to be tight in from running."

Good Soft Block Date: January 18, 2010
"This is a good soft block. It is very helpful for many poses when a wooden block would be too hard for the skin, bones, or muscles."

Great prop Date: January 7, 2010
"Wonderful block for those of us who enjoy using them. A yummy, soft suede-like texture (if you're mindful of tactile sensation...*L*), yet sturdy to enable a great practice. I mistakenly ordered the 4" block - wish there had been a 3" - and the green color is MUCH lighter than the picture. If 4" block is what you want, though, this is the one. Thanks, Gaiam!"

Yoga Blocks a Must Date: December 2, 2009
"I've tried Yoga in the past and wasn't that crazy about it until a few months ago. I bought a DVD and started doing it at home and now I'm hooked. The blocks and strap are a must for doing Yoga properly if you have to make the modifications. I'm 50 years old and have arthritis mostly in my back and it has really helped. I am making progress and I'm so pleased to know that even at my age I can increase flexibility and core strength and learn how to breathe. It's just been great."

I Love My Yoga Blocks Date: October 22, 2009
"I am in love with my robin's-egg blue yoga blocks. They are the prettiest yoga blocks I have ever seen. Plus this is the best value on yoga blocks I've ever seen, and I am a deep discount shopper."
