Yegos Launches Kickstarter Campaign

After 12 years of development and design, Atlanta yoga instructor Merri Benham introduced a Kickstarter campaign and product launch for her innovative magnetic interlocking yoga block system called “Yegos” this January. 

The patent-pending interlocking yoga block system can replace the need for bulky headstand mounts, backbend benches, meditation seats and more but only requires about two feet square of space to store.

Benham, who has taught yoga for more than 20 years and owned two studios in Buford and Gainesville, specializes in anatomy, alignment and overcoming limitations. “I quickly recognized that conventional props are a challenge for the ordinary yoga student,” says Benham. “I wanted my students to get the most out of their practice while still being able to follow along with a multilevel class. They simply needed more versatile yoga props.”

The complete Yegos system includes 11 blocks of six different shapes to help people bring their practice to the next level. It includes a standard yoga block, a half-block to make gradual adjustments, a large wedge for lifted heels, a mini-wedge for wrist relief and a padded roller to conform to one’s grip and the curves of one’s back. It also doubles as a roller. The system also includes a bench top for building a meditation bench or for tying several props together into supportive assemblies.

The Kickstarter campaign continues through February 12.
