OK, so I have sat long enough, and even feel that the contents may have shifted due to inactivity, and am now invoking a pep back into my step. I am ushering in the blocks for major support and to help me spring and jump and play. Maybe I can even jump right out of winter!

I used to use blocks for an isolated Ardha Chandrasana, or maybe I would put a block under my sacrum in half Wheel. But one fine day I pumped up the music and me and the blocks hung out and got to know each other much better. What fun we had!

In this Lotus Flow video sequence (below)--which for some of you will have a hint of old skool step aerobics in it, gone Yogic Hopscotch--be prepared to use two blocks, your breath, and plenty of momentum for some awesome deep lunges, half Crows, twists, and jumps.

The blocks bring your hands closer to the ground and make it much easier to move around because you feel lighter and more lifted. Rock Bakasana up on the blocks and enjoy the ride! Feel the Earth and also feel a little closer to Heaven! Check in with the blocks and uncover some shapes on your own. Kick back and chill out in Goddess Pose or Supta Baddha Konasana by sliding the blocks under your knees. Roll onto your side and use a block between your legs to create space and ease in the sacrum.

There's boundless partying to be had with blocks. So grab yours, add your soundtrack, and Spring into action!
