Customer Reviews

block ok but cork better, strap was too short for me,
Being new to yoga I thought this was a good deal. But after learning a few poses in class with the strap, the 6' was too short for comfort, and ended up buying an 8' strap instead. Then after getting into it a little more, I realized I needed two blocks instead of just one. Now I have a mismatched set of colors, but that's just my preference to have a matched set. THEN in class we used the cork block--wow whatta difference in support! I am getting the cork instead of the foam now. My suggestion is IF you are short, like 5' tall, and are good with one block for now, it is a good starter kit. BUT my suggestion is to get the 8' H.M.strap and check out the H.M.cork block. It is soft to the touch but doesn't feel as squishy as foam. This will be a set that, for about the same price or few $ more, will last you a lifetime.

Good quality
I don't know how much you can review a Yoga Block and a Strap, but these are both great looking and comfortable to use. I'm pregnant and have been using them to do Prenatal yoga. Price was much better at amazon.com than anywhere else I looked.

Yoga Equipment for a Friend
I bought this yoga block/strap combo to give as a gift to the friend who introduced me to yoga. It's a great price for the two items. She plans to use them mostly in her home practice, but they are handy to have to take to class. This way you don't have to use the items that everyone uses, and you always have them when you need them.
