Many of my students have gone through emotional trauma. Learning yoga and other mindfulness practices has enabled them to manage and diffuse the intense emotions they carry from this trauma. This is the first time that most of these students have done yoga, and they struggle with simple physical limitations such as being unable to touch their toes. The Manduka Lean Cork blocks will provide them more comfort during their yoga practice by supporting their weight during challenging poses, for example using the blocks to lean on while they approach being able to touch their toes. The Cork Blocks can also enable a student to sit cross-legged when they may not have the flexibility to sit directly on the floor in that pose. As the students gain confidence in their yoga practice, the blocks can also be used to aid in a number of more advanced poses, for example supporting the upper body on their hand while performing Triangle or Pyramid pose. With the Manduka Lean Cork blocks for added support, my students will be able to practice the skills of yoga and reap the benefits of this ancient mindfulness practice.
