Description: Fun Workouts & Stretches Using Yoga Blocks

Enjoy some fun ways to use your yoga blocks while still working out and stretching.

Using blocks we will raise ourselves up on our tiptoes and then drive our heels back to the ground in downward dog.  Feel a nice stretch as you continue this.

Tip Toe Achilles Stretch

Starting in Downward dog and raising one leg up for 3 Legged Dog, begin to engage your core, bringing the knee to your chest while rolling onto your toe that's on the mat.  X10 on each side.

Three Legged Dog Core Workout

Stretching out each leg onto the toe.  Gradually shift the body back to stretch the Achilles, then shift back forward for the release.  x4 on each side. Do not over-stretch.  Just a nice pull in the back of the foot is all you should feel.

Table Top Achilles Stretch

Using our blocks, we can get a deeper stretch in our shoulders.  

The first stretch is sitting in child's pose, resting our elbows on the blocks.  Place our palms together in prayer hands behind our head.  Then gently release the arms all the way forward, then drive the thumbs to the shoulder blades.  

The second stretch is placing the palms on the blocks and lowering your chest to the ground to overextend through the shoulder blades.  

1st stretch: 10 reps   2nd stretch: Hold for 30 seconds

Shoulder Stretches with Blocks

Using blocks for balancing in Warrior III, you will extend the leg out and then slowly bring the extended knee into the standing knee.  Coming into a balancing squat position.  Continue to hold the blocks for all of your x10 reps, or you can release the blocks for a challenge.  Do x10 on each leg.

Leg Bends in Warrior 3

Lifting our knees to our chest in downward dog while raising up on our toes and then lowering our heels back down to the mat.  We will build our core and calves along with stretching our ankles and feet.  Do x10 on each side.
