This basic piece of yoga equipment can strengthen your whole body and it costs less than $7

A woman stands in a doorway holding a yoga block, with a yoga mat in a strap slung over her back. She is smiling slightly and we can see a couch and painting in the room behind her.

Yoga blocks might come in handy for your next Vinyasa yoga class, but they’re also a versatile tool to enhance your strength and conditioning routine.

This small, cost-effective piece of equipment supports proper alignment during yoga poses. But when incorporated into resistance training, a block can increase your range of motion, activate more muscle groups and challenge your core. And if your lunges and push-ups have started to feel too easy, adding a yoga block is an effective way to up the intensity.
