8 Reasons Why We Love Yoga Blocks

by | Sep 2, 2015

Alkalign Studios Erin + Yoga Blocks

Q: Why did the yoga blocks walk into a barre class?

A: To give Alkalign clients a way to work harder and smarter!

 

At Alkalign we are passionate about awareness, engagement, alignment, balance, focus and education. The yoga block is a tool that encourages growth in all of these areas! Come take a class that incorporates the block and notice these eight reasons (and probably more!) why a workout out with this prop is so good:

 

+ A more powerful plank

+ Immediate improvements in alignment and engagement

+ Increased awareness of engagement of specific muscle groups

+ Increased ability to stretch in a variety of positions

+ A more effective way to find neutral spine and work the musculature that supports that important position

+ Yourself standing taller

+ A way to self adjust your own form as you work in class

+ Increased relaxation at the end of class (hello supported bridge pose!)

It Doesn't Have to Hurt to Work

A NEW, 2-week FREE program we are offering to any and all who want to get off the hamster wheel and try something that 1) works and 2) you will enjoy in the process. No more beating yourself up and spiraling the shame drain thinking you have to do more and be more. We embrace a philosophy that it doesn’t have to hurt to work. The extremes aren’t sustainable. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your body. Slow, steady and sane wins the race of life. And we are here to help you along the way.

Hi! I’m Erin and my passion in life is helping others feel better by helping them get out of their own head. So much of our relationship to food and fitness is a reflection of deeply rooted beliefs that were imprinted on us at a very early age. These beliefs drive all sorts of behaviors, many of which are not good for our physical or mental health. I know this first-hand. As a former calorie-counting cardio queen I played right into all the toxic messages about what it meant to be “healthy”. That all changed when I hit rock bottom. Since leaving my corporate career in 2009 I have been fully committed to shifting the narrative and helping people experience better physical health by unpacking unhealthy beliefs. My biggest inspiration are my two young daughters, who I hope to raise in a household that openly illuminates and addresses the misinformation instead of adopting it.
