They extend your reach when flexibility limits prevent full poses, provide support for the spine and hips in restorative positions, and act as a stability platform for balance exercises. These high-density EVA foam blocks are lighter than cork but more durable than soft foam — the standard in modern studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fafaf8;border:1px solid #e5e7eb;border-radius:12px;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;font-weight:800;color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eKey Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px;line-height:1.9;font-size:14px;color:#444;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-density \u003cstrong\u003eEVA foam\u003c\/strong\u003e — firm enough for weight-bearing, light enough to carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard studio dimensions: \u003cstrong\u003e23 x 15 x 10 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e (fits most yoga\/Pilates use cases)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-slip surface texture prevents sliding during standing poses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree height positions: flat (10cm), on side (15cm), upright (23cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 2 — most Pilates and yoga practices require blocks in pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1rem;font-weight:700;color:#1a1a1a;margin:24px 0 10px;\"\u003eHow to Use Pilates Blocks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;color:#444;line-height:1.75;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003ePlace blocks under hands in forward folds to make the floor more accessible.
