Pilates Blocks

Pilates blocks and bricks are practical accesories, especially for beginners or slightly advanced Pilates enthusiasts. With their help, you can achieve more challenging poses, add variety to your workout, or adjust your posture or sitting position so that it is correct, stable, and, above all, healthy. They serve not only as supports but also as pads or props to shorten the distance during stretching and strength-building exercises.

The most common shape for these blocks is a rectangular profile made of soft EVA material, which serves as a cushion for the head, neck, or back, or as an aid for proper pelvic alignment while sitting. Their main purpose is to improve spinal support and enhance posture during mat exercises.

Pilates bricks help you perform exercises with a straight spine and proper engagement of the core (powerhouse). They are most commonly used as a support for the hands, a lifting aid under the buttocks, or to be squeezed between the knees or palms to activate the deep muscles. Once again, the most versatile material is EVA foam, which is soft yet firm, very lightweight, and easily fits into a gym bag.

Pilates blocks and bricks differ primarily in their dimensions, weight, and color.
