These yoga blocks are comfortable and lightweight and essential to your yoga practice. If you are new to yoga and not familiar with using blocks, they seem a bit extraneous at first (at least they did to me). But, once you get into doing more poses and using them as recommended, you will get a lot more out of your practice.
I use these for a few poses that really help my back, neck and shoulders (perpetually achy from an old injury and too many desk hours). They are quite comfortable for putting under your neck or back or resting your head or leges on as well as helping you reach the floor in certain poses. They really do change the poses--sometimes making them more comfortable or reachable, and sometimes working different body parts entirely.

The product arrived in adequate time and in good condition. I was a little surprised when I opened the package though. Per the discription that was listed with the product, this looked like it was going to be a set of yoga blocks. When I opened the package it was only one. Had I known that it was just one block instead of multiple I would have bought it at the local Target. So if you are looking to only get one. I would suggesst that you look at a local store first, as the cost would have been the same cost for me, minus the shipping cost.
If you like foam blocks, these are good. Personally though, I have found wood (or cork) blocks to be better for me, since they do not give/bend over time. These are good for foam blocks, but are not as sturdy as what you'll get with other material.

Block... not blocks. People should learn to read before giving this product lower scores.
The block are pretty firm, but not uncomfortable. They really help with poses. I have a bad back and find these help with relieving some of the tension when I remember to use them.
The first time I brought these to class, they were immediately hailed as my new Barbie Blocks. However, everyone wanted to use them. They are so useful and feminine! Very good for motivating the try for almost any yoga pose. And great to use as a base when taking notes during yoga class.
I have always had trouble getting and staying in many of the yoga poses like triangle pose etc. This block is the tool that I needed to make all of my yoga dreams come true...well this and the 8 inch Yoga Accessories strap. I ordered the block and received it only a couple of days later and it was put into action almost immediatly. The product was exactly as it was described and I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you Yoga Accessories for another great product!
When I first started doing yoga I used some things to help me be able to do some poses a bit better, such a straps and blocks. I started out using some things to make sure I wanted to continue and the phone book was a good help. When I realized I really was going to stick with yoga, I picked up a pair of these blocks.
Very good to have not matter what your level. There will be days when you find that you would like to have blocks around when working with a pose.
This is a great block nothing wrong with it, i was just dissapointed to discover only 1 block in the package when i purchased. The photo and description are not clear enough that you are only getting 1 block. It ended up costing me exrta because I had to order a second block and pay another $5 for the shipping. If i had known it was only 1 block i would have ordered the 2 blocks together to save on shipping. - Yoga - Blocks - Yoga Accessories'
