Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to yoga exercise, and particularly to a multi-functional yoga brick having a multi-sectional holding portion for being held by users.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Yoga brick is used to help the yoga exercise. It is mainly used for retaining, supporting and balancing the body. When a user makes yoga exercise, he (or she) often retains at a fixed pose. At this moment, the yoga brick can be used as a supporter for expanding the body with a great extent. Current yoga brick has a rectangular shape and is not suitable for being held by a hand. Thus, it is possible that the hand's bone will release to hurt the user. Thus, there is an eager demand for a novel one which can improve these defects to help the exerciser to make yoga exercise effectively.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-functional yoga brick so that the user has a better balance in exercise and can support effectively so as to expand the body.


To achieve above object, the present invention provides a multi-functional yoga brick, comprising a multi-sectional holding portion at a middle section thereof. The holding portion has a shape of “8”, or a round shape or an elliptical shape. The holding portion has a through hole or no through hole. The holding portion has a plurality of layers. The multi-functional yoga brick is an elastic body. The multi-functional yoga brick is made of elastic plastics or rubber or injected plastic material.


The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.


Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the multi-functional yoga brick 100 of the present invention is illustrated. A middle section of the brick is formed with a holding portion 10 which has a shape of “8”. The holding portion 10 has a through hole 20 and two different layers 30.


Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the multi-functional yoga brick of the present invention has a multi-sectional holding portion 10 at a middle section thereof. The holding portion 10 has a through hole 20 and an interior of the through hole 20 is formed with three layers 30.


With referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, it is illustrated that the multi-functional yoga brick of the present invention has a multi-sectional holding portion 10 at a middle section thereof. The holding portion 10 is formed with a single layered recess 30 which does not penetrate through the brick.


With referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the multi-functional yoga brick of the present invention is used to help the yoga exercise for fixing and balancing the body. When users make yoga exercise, the multi-functional yoga brick 100 of the present invention can be used as a supporter for causing the user to retain at a fixed pose. Thus the user has a better supporter and can expand the body effectively.


With referring to FIGS. 9 to 16, in the multi-functional yoga brick 100 of the present invention, the user can hold the multi-functional yoga brick by a single hand (referring to FIG. 9) or by two hands (referring to FIG. 10), or holds the brick at an upper lateral side (see FIG. 11), or holds the brick from a lateral side (see FIG. 12), or lifts the brick by single one hand or by two hands (see FIG. 13), or presses by one hand for expanding the body; the toes can enter into the brick (referring to FIG. 15), or the brick is held by two handles for expanding the arms and muscles (see FIG. 16).


In the present invention, the multi-functional yoga brick is an elastic body. Or the multi-functional yoga brick is made of elastic plastics or rubber or injected plastic material, or the holding portion has a shape of “8”, or a round shape or an elliptical shape.


The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Claims
  • 1. A multi-functional yoga brick, comprising: a cubic brick body;a hollow through hole penetrating through two opposite sides of the brick body and comprising a middle section in between the two opposite sides;a cross section of the through hole having a figure eight shape;wherein an inner wall of the through hole is formed as a stepped wall (10);the middle section of the through hole being smaller than two openings at the two opposite sides of the through hole; andhaving two steps from the middle section of the through hole to any one of the two openings of the through hole.
  • 2. The multi-functional yoga brick as claimed in claim 1, wherein the multi-functional yoga brick is an elastic body.
  • 3. The multi-functional yoga brick as claimed in claim 1, wherein the multi-functional yoga brick is made of elastic plastics or rubber or injected plastic material.
