As much as traditional yoga blocks are designed to help yogis in their practice, there are many times in which they end up hindering. This series of modern yoga objects addresses their failings in order to better the experience on the mat.
A collaborative collection between apparel brand Outdoor Voices and NYC-based industrial design studio Visibility, these reimagined yoga blocks play with form, color and material to focus as much on aesthetic as they do performance. Comprised of five yoga blocks and objects, they can be used for other workouts as well. When bundled together, the collection is a great display in the home or even the office. Separately, each piece boasts details that make them intuitive to use.
