With the help of Ashtanga Yoga teacher Peter Francyk, we're delighted to bring you the Raja Block. Raja means a king and we think this is the king of blocks because of its stability and versatility. Its foam construction provides firm support with enough "give" to be comfortable. It can be used as a standard yoga block but its 24-inch length and arched end extend its functions. The curved end provides support in bridge pose, reclined hero's pose and pranayama. The 24-inch length spans the width of your sticky mat and can be used against the wall for aid in lifting into backbends, for viparita karani (inverted lake pose), and for halasana (plow pose). Stand the block vertically at the wall on its flat end and it helps to give opening space to the chest during handstands and baddhakonasana (bound angle pose). Includes a free usage guide featuring 13 uses. Color: Purple 4 in. X 6 in. X 24 in.
