Yoga Block

Abstract

A yoga block is in two identical sections which disassemble to form two yoga wedges. The two yoga wedges are held together in block form by a cylinder passing through both wedges when the wedges are aligned into the yoga block form.

1 . A yoga block, comprising: 
 first and second yoga wedges, wherein the first and second yoga wedges are identical in shape and size;    first and second holes running entirely through the first and second yoga wedges, respectively, wherein the first and second holes have a same diameter; and    a rod having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the first and second holes;    wherein when the first and second yoga wedges are placed together with their diagonal faces touching and the first and second holes are axially aligned, the rod fits in the first and second holes to retain the first and second wedges together forming the yoga block.    
   
   
       2 . A yoga block according to  claim 1 , wherein the yoga block is shaped as a rectangular solid with two parallel major faces and two parallel minor faces, and wherein the first and second holes penetrate the two major faces.  
   
   
       3 . A yoga block according to  claim 1 , wherein the yoga block is shaped as a rectangular solid with two parallel major faces and two parallel minor faces, and wherein the first and second holes penetrate the two minor faces.  
   
   
       4 . A yoga block according to  claim 1 , wherein the rod and the first and second yoga wedges are made of the same material.  
   
   
       5 . A yoga block according to  claim 1 , wherein the rod and the first and second yoga wedges are not made of the same material.  
   
   
       6 . A yoga block according to  claim 5 , wherein the rod includes first, second, and third sections, wherein the second section is between the first and third sections, and wherein the first and third sections are of the same material as the first and second yoga wedges.  
   
   
       7 . A yoga block according to  claim 6 , wherein the second section is made of plastic.  
   
   
       8 . A method for making a yoga block, comprising the steps of: 
 forming first and second yoga wedges, wherein the first and second yoga wedges are identical in shape and size;    forming first and second holes running entirely through the first and second yoga wedges, respectively, wherein the first and second holes have a same diameter; and    forming a rod having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the first and second holes;    wherein when the first and second yoga wedges are placed together with their diagonal faces touching and the first and second holes are axially aligned, the rod fits in the first and second holes to retain the first and second wedges together forming the yoga block.    
   
   
       9 . A method according to  claim 8 , wherein the yoga block is shaped as a rectangular solid with two parallel major faces and two parallel minor faces, and wherein the first and second holes penetrate the two major faces.  
   
   
       10 . A method according to  claim 8 , wherein the yoga block is shaped as a rectangular solid with two parallel major faces and two parallel minor faces, and wherein the first and second holes penetrate the two minor faces.  
   
   
       11 . A method according to  claim 8 , wherein the rod and the first and second yoga wedges are made of the same material.  
   
   
       12 . A method according to  claim 8 , wherein the rod and the first and second yoga wedges are not made of the same material.  
   
   
       13 . A method according to  claim 12 , wherein the rod includes first, second, and third sections, wherein the second section is between the first and third sections, and wherein the first and third sections are of the same material as the first and second yoga wedges.  
   
   
       14 . A method according to  claim 13 , wherein the second section is made of plastic.
