 Standard yoga block Nov 01, 2010
By David Robinson
These yoga blocks work as you should expect. For anyone new to yoga, a yoga block is used to help with various postures, usually by supporting the user or acting as a spacer to extend certain postures. Originally made of wood, the block must be able support much of the user's weight without compressing, deforming or slipping. The foam that these blocks are made of fits the bill perfectly, and are able to support my solid 220 pound frame without any real change in shape. In addition, the blocks are surprisingly light, even considering they're made of foam.
Every yoga block I've ever purchased has performed the same, but I personally have never seen any other foam that was formulated with the same characteristics, even considering industrial packing foam for heavy and dense objects. These were at a good price when I bought them, but if you get these or another, be sure to get yoga blocks rather than substituting.

What's not to like? Dec 09, 2010
By Ladyscribe
These blocks are the standard size (some other products are not). They have a great feel, are lightweight, sturdy and they are purple, one of my favorite colors. I am really pleased with this purchase. I looked around quite a bit before buying these and they are a great value. They do have a 'foam' smell when the plastic is first removed, but I put them on top of the air purifier for a day and they were fine after that.

Can't Really Screw Up a Block of Foam... Nov 19, 2010
By 31werd
Appears to be the exact block used in our P90X videos. Has served us well in our three weeks of use so far. If you're beginning yoga and have limited flexibility, these are VERY helpful.

 Blocks not great, smell horrible Aug 25, 2011
By Jane Austen
I just got my blocks in the mail today, and the first two things I noticed were: 1. They were already scratched up a bit, and 2. They smell awful. Not only is the foam less dense than yoga blocks I've used before, they're also a bit squishier than typical blocks, although they are supportive enough. Pressing a fingernail into the surface leaves a mark, and when I use the block to support my lower back, it leaves a deep impression in the surface that goes away after a few minutes. The odor coming from them is quite strong, and I can smell it on my hands after pressing down on them with my palms.
The one thing I like about these blocks is the size, but it's not hard to find yoga blocks in this size.
I've never sent a product I bought off amazon back before, but I am considering it with these. If I had read the other negative reviews prior to purchasing I would not have ordered this product. If the smell goes away they will be tolerable, but to be honest, it's completely off-putting, and I never would have picked them up in a store.

 High quality yoga blocks, although overpriced Apr 26, 2011
By Rhiever
These are high quality yoga blocks that seem to be the exact same ones used in P90X's "Yoga X" video. I've been using them for about a month now and they've met my needs to maintain balance during some of the yoga postures. However, the price seems a bit much for what are effectively blocks of styrofoam, even if you're getting two of them.
