Fitness Yoga Block

What exactly can a yoga block do for us? Read on and you'll find out.

Does it feel like I've only just posted an article on shoulder and neck care yesterday, and today I'm already writing about stiffness? The truth is, people's bodies really do need looking after these days! We spend our days sitting at desks and looking down at our mobiles; our shoulders, neck, lower back, hips, buttocks and legs are quietly becoming tense and stiff from head to toe. With long-term tension and the strain of prolonged sitting, physical issues keep cropping up; every part of the body needs to be gently loosened and restored. That's why I'm sharing these posture-relieving exercises today-not to promise instant beauty, but simply to help you feel a little more relaxed, a little lighter and a little more comfortable each day. A small yoga block can help you painlessly correct posture issues caused by prolonged sitting. It's not a shortcut for beginners; it's a magical prop specifically designed to correct incorrect muscle engagement, protect the lumbar spine, and help even complete beginners develop good posture. You won't be drenched in sweat-though you will work up a light sweat, hehe-and whilst it's not high-intensity, it's by no means easy. Practise whenever you have a spare moment, and stiffness, a hunched back, the illusion of wide hips and a flat bottom can all be gradually improved!
