If you’re looking to add some beautiful yoga blocks to your yoga sessions, then Divine Goddess has everything that you are looking for. The first thing you’ll notice when you look to buy yoga blocks online in our store is that the blocks are stunningly decorated. Each of our blocks has been decorated with a unique Divine Goddess design, some of them have even been lovingly painted by our in-house artist! 

What’s more, all of our yoga blocks have been created using only recycled materials. This means that you can really focus on your yoga flow, knowing that you have done something kind for the environment. This recycled material means that they are dense and sturdy enough to offer sublime support during your movements, but that they are also light enough to be carried easily between your studio and other spots.

Yoga blocks are one of the most essential yoga props that you can get your hands on and alignment and support are just some of the reasons why they are so popular. Here are the others:

Lengthening

The most basic use of a yoga block (and one of the most important) is that it decreases the distance between you and the floor. Using a yoga block can modify the difficulty in a yoga pose to better suit how flexible you are. For example, if you’re struggling to touch your toes in the Forward Fold, you simply place a yoga block down to reach instead. This takes a whole lot of pressure off your lower back and hamstrings and it allows you to work on getting your hands down gradually and successfully in time.

Injury Prevention

There are undoubtedly a couple of yoga poses that put pressure on your joints if you haven’t quite mastered them yet. Think Hero Pose (Virasana) here. All you have to do is put the block between your feet and change the height to suit you. This takes the pressure off your knees and helps stretch your thighs. With a yoga block, you can gradually change the height and reach the full asana without running the risk of strain or injury.

Added Challenge and Strength

If you’re an accomplished yogi, you might be wondering how you can take things to the next level and build even more strength. Well, yoga blocks can help you do this too! You could hold the blocks in your standing asanas like Warrior II to make them more intense. Or you could simply place a block between your knees and keep them there to activate your inner thigh muscles and to prevent splaying.

You’ve probably seen yoga blocks in Australia online but not everyone knows exactly what they are used for. Essentially, they are yoga props that are used by yogis to assist in movements and strengthening. They are also used to add an extra challenge to poses that have already been mastered and to assist with tension release and alignment form.
