Do you really need two yoga blocks?

One block covers many poses, but a pair makes it easier to support both hands or sides at once. Many teachers suggest having two for home practice.

What size yoga blocks should a set be?

The common size is about 9 by 6 by 4 inches, which suits most people. Slimmer 3-inch blocks are an option for smaller hands or Pilates.
