So Manduka’s recycled-foam unBLOK (available in black or green for $24, Manduka.com), which is sloped on two sides, provides a more comfortable boost than traditional styles of the yoga prop. Our tester enjoyed lying with her back on top of it for a chest opener, and resting a palm over it without stressing her wrist. If you want to live on the edge, though, you can always rotate the unBLOK to its flat side.
