We often say that if beginners cannot do some movements when they just practice some yoga postures, we can use yoga bricks to help us do it at this time. Using yoga bricks can reduce the pressure on the body and allow practitioners to better enjoy the process of practicing yoga. So how do you think you should use yoga blocks to practice yoga? Let’s go to the fitness equipment and take a look!

Lift your left arm upward, keep your arms in a straight line, and look at your upper fingers.
