Yoga Props: How to Use Blocks, Straps, Bolsters & Wheels

Yoga props are not a sign of weakness — they are tools of intelligence. The right prop at the right moment allows you to access poses more safely, hold them longer, and experience their full benefit regardless of your flexibility or experience level.

Yoga Blocks

Cork Yoga Blocks

Cork blocks are firmer, more stable, and more sustainable than foam. They provide a solid, non-slip surface for standing poses, seated forward folds, and restorative postures. Our Cork Yoga Block is ideal for stability, alignment, and deeper poses.

Foam Yoga Blocks

Foam blocks are lighter and softer — ideal for beginners or for restorative practices where a gentler surface is preferred. Our Foam Yoga Blocks provide stability, alignment support, and accessible poses for all levels.

Yoga Straps

A yoga strap extends your reach — allowing you to access forward folds, shoulder stretches, and bound poses that would otherwise be inaccessible. Our Cotton Yoga Strap supports enhanced flexibility, deeper stretches, and alignment.

Yoga Bolsters

Bolsters are the cornerstone of restorative yoga — providing support that allows the body to fully release into passive poses. Our Restorative Yoga Bolster is ideal for restorative yoga, prenatal support, and deep relaxation. For yin yoga, our Yin Yoga Bolster provides comfort and passive pose support.

Yoga Wheels

The yoga wheel is one of the most versatile props available — supporting backbends, improving spinal mobility, and building balance. Our Cork Yoga Wheel supports deep stretches, back relief, and balance training.

Yoga Mats

Your mat is your foundation. Our Cork Yoga Mat is eco-friendly, antimicrobial, and provides superior grip — ideal for hot yoga, dynamic practices, and anyone who values sustainability.
