I bought this yoga block for my child's physical therapy sessions, and it's been quite helpful. The non-slip surface provides excellent stability during exercises, which is crucial since my child practices barefoot. The colorful design makes it more appealing for kids too. I really appreciate how it's the perfect size for small hands to grip during stretches, and while being lightweight, the firm yet comfortable foam supports different poses wonderfully. It's also easy to clean after use. The only slight drawback is that the 4-inch height is a bit tall for my child's foot positioning in some exercises, though this might vary depending on the child's age and size. Overall, it's a quality block that gets the job done for therapeutic use. With its durability and safety features, I'd recommend it to other parents for kids' physical therapy. Read more
Great combo and quality. Exactly what I needed. The blocks are extra wide for stability. Good value for the price. Would even be nice as a gift because the packaging looks well put together. Happy with my purchase. Read more
I didn’t buy this for yoga. I don’t have space in the basement to store a foldable flat bench. I’ve been doing bench and flyes on a thick foot cushion but thought I’d try these instead. Works great for my shoulder width (I wear a t shirt S, 36 suit jacket). I put one the wide way against shoulder blades and one the short way right above it as a head rest. Good ROM. Not as soft as a cushion or a real flat bench but soft enough so it doesn’t feel uncomfortable. Still hard enough so it doesn’t just collapse. Currently just benching 80 lbs. it might give out at like +150 idk. Read more
It's sturdy, and it perfectly serves its purpose of aiding alignment and stability in various poses. Highly recommended! Read more
A little heavy but very well made. Read more
I have 4 of them to do elevated pushups on. They work great! Read more
It is as expected. And the gray color is not depressing, as some grays can be. It looks just like all the other Gaiam brand products I see as I look around the class. I appreciate that it states "latex-free" as I am allergic to latex. The block is very light weight, yet supportive. The strap is long enough for use by us tall people. I couldn't get to the store, so ordered it here. Came the next day for me! And that worked out perfect--as others in the new, beginner's, class had to run to different stores as they were finding empty shelves. Read more
I bought this Gaiam yoga block to help with correcting my pelvic tilt, and it's honestly been super useful. I keep one at my study desk and place it between my knees while I’m sitting for long periods. This small habit has really helped me start addressing my right-left imbalance. I’ve been very right-side dominant for years, and my left side has been weaker, which contributed to my pelvic tilt. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m definitely noticing improvements. The block itself is lightweight but firm, and it holds up well even with daily use. I also use it during yoga, especially for pigeon pose, where it gives just the right support. I don’t use the strap much since I already had one, but it’s a nice bonus to have if you need it. If you're working on posture or alignment issues like I am, or just want a reliable block for stretching or yoga, this one does the job well. It’s sturdy, comfortable, and affordable. Read more
