100 percent cork; harvested under strict regulations designed to conserve the cork oak tree
Easy-go-grip textured surface and comfortable contoured edges
Helps yoga practitioners improve strength, balance, and alignment
Produced without toxic chemicals during harvesting and manufacturing
Measures 9 by 4 by 6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 2 pounds
Setting the standard for high-performance yoga props, this Manduka block is made of 100 percent cork--a natural material harvested under tight regulations. Cork oak trees are not allowed to be stripped of cork bark until they are 25 years old and then are allowed to regrow undisturbed for another seven to nine years after stripping Cork offers a firmness not found in foam competitors. Yoga blocks are ideal for yoga students of all levels, as they help beginners perform postures that would otherwise be too difficult, while more advanced practitioners can use them to improve strength, balance, and alignment. In addition, the block's easy-to-grip textured surface and comfortable contoured edges make it feel secure and accommodating during tough stretches. Produced without the use of any toxic chemicals during harvesting and manufacturing, the cork yoga block measures 9 by 4 by 6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 2 pounds.

After buying the Manduka mat, which I am still hesitant to take out of the house to the yoga studio, lest I get dirt or scratches on it (yes I know, overkill for home practice), I love the block just as much. I use it to get into Pincha Mayurasana and it is sturdy, the texture feels soft against my fingers, the frog mark is cute and the color is wonderful. There is a certain energy or feel about the block, and I know this sounds very strange, but I am drawn to my mat more to practice yoga with it. I love this far above the small, foamy material cheap standard yoga blocks and it is well worth the extra bucks. Quality matters!...

I bought a cork block for two reason. First, I thought it would be more hygenic to have my own block (instead of using the ones that hundreds of other people use in a hot yoga class). And second, because it is made of cork, which is a renewal plant (well, tree) product. I like the block a lot. It's a great size and the rounded edges are great. There is no big logo or words or anything big and distracting like that on the block, which is also nice. The one drawback is that it is quite heavy. I use it at home and I will probably take it to classes as well but the weight has me already wondering if I really will do that. If you are getting a block for home or personal use, this would be a great choice! I think it would also be a good choice for a friend who does yoga....

Very stable, a great assistant for balancing poses. The reason I knocked a star down is because it is extremely dense and very hard. I find it uncomfortable for almost all other types of use. I have two of them, and I use them regularly but I don't like to use them in Yin yoga. Just something to consider.......
