Gaiam Yoga Block and Strap Combo
Improve your yoga performance with this pair of must-have yoga tools. The combo pack starts with a brick that helps you “reach the floor” in key poses and maintain proper alignment, helping you achieve better stability and support. The natural-cotton, 6-foot yoga strap, meanwhile, lets you deepen the stretch without strain. In addition, the D-ring cinch buckle tightens the strap securely while still allowing for quick and easy release. The end result of both tools is a deeper, more flexible yoga session that makes the most of your stretches. The brick measures 5-1/4 by 3 by 9 inches (W x H x D) while the strap is machine-washable for easy cleaning.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Good quality
I don’t know how much you can review a Yoga Block and a Strap, but these are both great looking and comfortable to use. I’m pregnant and have been using them to do Prenatal yoga. Price was much better at amazon.com than anywhere else I looked.
5 Stars Yoga Equipment for a Friend
I bought this yoga block/strap combo to give as a gift to the friend who introduced me to yoga. It’s a great price for the two items. She plans to use them mostly in her home practice, but they are handy to have to take to class. This way you don’t have to use the items that everyone uses, and you always have them when you need them.
3 Stars block ok but cork better, strap was too short for me,
Being new to yoga I thought this was a good deal. But after learning a few poses in class with the strap, the 6′ was too short for comfort, and ended up buying an 8′ strap instead. Then after getting into it a little more, I realized I needed two blocks instead of just one. Now I have a mismatched set of colors, but that’s just my preference to have a matched set. THEN in class we used the cork block–wow whatta difference in support! I am getting the cork instead of the foam now. My suggestion is IF you are short, like 5′ tall, and are good with one block for now, it is a good starter kit. BUT my suggestion is to get the 8′ H.M.strap and check out the H.M.cork block. It is soft to the touch but doesn’t feel as squishy as foam. This will be a set that, for about the same price or few $ more, will last you a lifetime.
4 Stars Yoga strap & block
The yoga strap and block are very helpful in getting the best stretches during yoga exercise. I recommend it to anyone that is serious of this wonderful exercise practice.
