YOGA I is a brilliantly inventive packing puzzle from designer Benjamin Heidt, brought to life with Pelikan’s exceptional craftsmanship. Made from striking Leopardwood panels and smooth Garapa pieces, this compact puzzle (72 × 56 × 51 mm) looks elegant on the outside—but inside, it’s a full mental workout.
At first glance, the eight identical pieces seem simple: each is made of four cubes. But the twist is where the real challenge begins. In every piece, two of the cubes are connected by a pivoting axis, allowing each piece to transform into four different shapes. Combine that with the fixed internal blocks already built into the box, and suddenly this isn’t “just another packing puzzle”—it’s a shape‑shifting spatial challenge worthy of its name.
Your task is to discover the one correct combination of piece shapes and orientations that will fill the box completely. With 268 theoretical assemblies but only a single true solution, YOGA I demands patience, creativity, and a willingness to “bend” your thinking. Even seasoned puzzlers will find themselves stretched as they experiment with rotations, configurations, and the surprising constraints hidden inside the box.
Beautiful, clever, and undeniably tricky, YOGA I is a standout addition to any mechanical puzzle collection—and a testament to how far a simple idea can be pushed when design and craftsmanship come together.
