Bring The Earth Closer To You | How Yoga Blocks Can Empower Your Practice {Lakewood, CO}

As humans, each one of our bodies is extraordinarily unique. This fact can be hard to remember during a yoga class or even when practicing is home. However, fear not! This is one reason why we have yoga blocks! Yoga blocks can help bring the earth closer to you to not only empower your practice but to help create space for something new. 

Ever take a yoga class where no matter what you tried you couldn't balance on one leg? Well congratulations! You in company with nearly ever yoga practitioner ever. It seems to be a crazy yoga phenomenon where some days you just simply cannot balance. And that is TOTALLY FINE...but don't fret or stress yourself out, grab a block! Using a block in Eagle Pose is a great option and example of how you can bring the earth closer to you.  You can use your block as a platform for the foot of your top leg (leg wrapped around). Now that your lower body is stable, you can create space in your upper body. 

Similar to balancing on our feet, balancing on our hands can be even more nerve wracking and stressful. And this is why you've kept your block so close to your mat! You can bring the earth closer to you in crow pose. You can use the block to perch up your feet, making it easier to get your knees on your upper arm bones. Using the block in one of these two ways will help empower your practice by allowing you to go deeper into Crow Pose than you may have been before! 

By bringing the earth closer to you, can create space for more restoration and rejuvenation. You can stack the blocks the get your hips even higher in waterfall pose allowing for more rejuvenation. Have you ever noticed that when you lay down for Shavasana that the back of your knees float off the mat? Just bring a block under the back of each knee and problem solved! You'll  be able to melt down into the earth and invite greater restoration. 

Bringing the earth closer to you will help you find ease in your practice so you can create space for something new!
