The Power of the Yoga Block: A Simple Tool for a Deeper Practice (No, It’s Not Just for the ‘Uncoordinated’!)

If you’ve ever wandered into a yoga class, chances are you’ve seen a yoga block hanging around like the mysterious, slightly awkward cousin at a family gathering.

Like some ancient secret practice only known to elite yogis who can do handstands in their sleep and meditate for hours without breaking a sweat. But here’s the thing: Ashtanga yoga is for everyone—yes, even for those of us who still haven’t quite nailed downward dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)without looking like a confused giraffe.
