5* Product Review: Gaiam ALL-Grip Yoga Brick (Feb 2010)

The ALL-Grip Yoga Brick from Gaiam is a rectangular object made of a durable hard sponge material. The rugged construction is made to last forever. The utility of the mechanical brick is seen in firmly setting the posture of the hand for very specific movements in yoga or even the martial arts. The brick is perfect for both disciplines.

Instructors and students can utilize the brick to guide in performing the yoga forms correctly. In addition, the brick may be utilized to verify the proper alignment of the hand for specific forms or exercises. The brick will assist in learning torque or twisting movements precisely. Students of yoga and the martial arts require a reference point in order to focus movements precisely. Serious students perform specific movements numerous times to reach a state of perfection in the execution of the various yoga forms. In addition, the yoga brick may help to prevent strain or injury in performing these exercises. Novice yoga enthusiasts usually perform the art under the supervision of an experienced practitioner.

The middle of the brick has an infinity shape which fits the contour of the hand perfectly. In addition, there is plenty of room to focus the exercises by aligning the eyes with the infinity shape in the middle of the brick. The ALL-Grip Yoga Brick is recommended for the discriminating yoga or martial arts practitioner. The price is reasonable and the brick is easy to use during the conduct of daily or periodic exercise sessions.

In addition, the practice of yoga is facilitated by focusing on a specific object to aid in concentration. 5 Stars
