Gaiam 05-62966 Yoga Blocks 2-Pack, Latex-Free EVA Foam, Non-Slip Grip

Usage tips

The beveled edges and nonslip surface give you a steady point of contact when a pose calls for extra height or support. Place a block under your hands to bring the floor closer in standing stretches, under your feet when a pose needs added elevation, or beneath your seat for meditation. The two-block set lets you position support on both sides when a pose calls for it.

Each block measures 6"L x 9"W x 4"Th and is made from latex-free EVA foam in deep purple. Use one or both blocks to adjust a pose to your flexibility and alignment needs, whether you are practicing yoga, Pilates, or meditation.

Benefits

A block can make a stretch more accessible by extending your reach and supporting your position as you work through a pose. That added support can help you focus on alignment instead of forcing a deeper stretch. The lightweight foam is designed to provide support, while the soft nonslip surface and beveled edges make the blocks easier to grip and position.

Gaiam describes these blocks as 50% denser than standard EVA blocks. That added density is intended to provide supportive stability during practice, while the foam construction keeps the blocks easy to move from one position to another. Compared with practicing without props, a block offers a practical way to modify poses and add height where you need it, the two-pack is useful when a pose calls for support on both sides.

Customer feedback highlights the blocks’ light feel, grip, and usefulness for yoga and stretching. Opinions on firmness and durability vary: some appreciate the smooth, comfortable feel, while others prefer a firmer block or report dents and scratches with use. That range of feedback can help shoppers decide whether a foam prop suits their preferred feel.

Key takeaways

The Gaiam 05-62966 set includes two latex-free EVA foam yoga blocks with a nonslip surface and beveled edges. Their 6"L x 9"W x 4"Th format offers defined height for modifying poses, supporting stretches, and creating a more supported seat for meditation. The deep purple color adds a clear visual touch to a home or studio practice.

For a typical practice, keep a block within reach during standing poses and stretches. You can bring it under a hand when reaching the floor feels difficult, then reposition it as the sequence changes. Wipe the blocks with a damp cloth for care.
