Our Upcycled Yoga blocks are designed to make your practice safer, more accessible, and more comfortable, no matter your level of experience. They provide stable support under the hands, feet, hips, or spine, helping you maintain alignment, reduce strain, and move confidently through poses. For beginners, yoga blocks offer lift and stability as flexibility and strength develop. For experienced practitioners, they deepen stretches, refine alignment, and enhance restorative and yin practices, allowing your muscles and nervous system to fully relax.
Yoga blocks help you meet your body where it is each day. Instead of forcing flexibility or compromising alignment, they provide reliable support, making yoga safer, more mindful, and more enjoyable for every body.
Who Can Benefit from Yoga Blocks?
Our upcycled yoga blocks are perfect for anyone who wants extra support, balance, and confidence in their practice. They’re ideal for:
- Beginners, who may not yet have the flexibility or balance to comfortably reach the floor or hold certain poses.
- Experienced yogis, who want to refine alignment, deepen stretches, and explore variations with greater control.
- People with injuries, limited mobility, or tight muscles, as blocks reduce strain and allow safe movement.
- Practitioners of restorative, yin, or prenatal yoga, who need gentle support for longer-held poses and relaxation.
Simply put, yoga blocks are for anyone seeking to practice with more ease, intention, and support, meeting your body exactly where it is every time you step on the mat.
How Yoga Blocks Improve Alignment, Balance, and Confidence
Yoga blocks provide a stable foundation that helps you move into poses safely and mindfully. By bringing the floor closer, they allow you to maintain proper alignment without overreaching or straining, reducing the risk of injury while supporting long-term joint health. For balance-focused poses, blocks offer a steady base, helping you feel grounded and secure. Over time, this stability builds strength, coordination, and confidence while enhancing alignment and body awareness.
What Makes Earth Warrior’s Upcycled Yoga Blocks Different
Our blocks are made from 100% recycled materials, giving a new life to fabrics that would otherwise end up in landfills. Unlike traditional cork or foam blocks, they are softer and more cushioned, providing extra comfort for poses where your body can ease closer to the ground.
While cork and foam blocks are excellent for standing balance poses that require firm support, our blocks are designed for comfort and restorative practice, making them perfect for seated folds, reclined poses, supported stretches, and meditation. The cylindrical cushioning allows muscles to relax, joints to soften, and the nervous system to settle, making every practice feel nurturing and accessible.
How We Make Our Upcycled Yoga Blocks
Earth Warrior’s yoga blocks are crafted with care and intention. We start by collecting upholstery samples that would otherwise end up in landfills. These fabrics are cleaned, cut, and sewn into removable, washable outer covers. The inner forms are made from recycled textiles we receive from corporate partners, including linens, and fabric signage
The forms are stuffed with manufacturing scraps and shredded fabric materials, creating blocks that are firm enough for stability yet soft enough for comfort, offering a unique combination that traditional cork or foam cannot match.
Materials, Dimensions, and Feel
We carefully select a variety of upholstery fabrics, from couch and chair samples to heavy drapery, ensuring durability, soft texture, and longevity. Each block measures:
- 11 inches long
- 7 inches wide
- 3.5 inches high
They contain approximately 2.75–3.5 lbs of recirculated textiles, offering a soft yet firm feel that supports your body in seated, reclined, and restorative poses. The combination of cushion, weight, and stability ensures that each block is both comfortable and reliable, providing confidence in every practice.
Durability and Safety
Our upcycled yoga blocks are built to last. The densely packed textiles hold their shape over time, remaining stable for everyday use in all types of poses. They are carefully prepared to ensure there are no sharp edges, loose fibers, or hidden defects, making them safe for regular practice.
While softer than cork or foam, these blocks still provide the support and stability needed to enhance alignment, confidence, and body awareness, whether you’re practicing restorative yoga, yin, meditation, or gentle movement.
Reduce Textile Waste and Practice Sustainably
Choosing an upcycled yoga block is a conscious, eco-friendly choice. Each block gives new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded, keeping fabric scraps, upholstery samples, and manufacturing waste out of landfills. By supporting a circular approach to materials, every block helps reduce environmental impact and promotes sustainable consumption.
With these blocks, your yoga practice becomes an act of mindfulness not only for your body but also for the planet. Comfort, stability, and eco-conscious design come together, supporting a low-waste, intentional lifestyle.
Care and Storage Tips
To make your blocks last, remove the outer cover for washing in cold or warm water, then hang to dry to preserve texture and shape. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or damp spaces, to maintain durability. Proper care ensures your blocks remain supportive, comfortable, and long-lasting for years of mindful practice.
