Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Manduka Cork Block Reviews
| 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful  Lovely and Renewable--but Heavy, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Manduka Cork Block (Sports) 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. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  Love the Manduka block!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Manduka Cork Block (Sports) 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! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Big, sturdy, won't let you down., By Bekenef (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Manduka Cork Block (Sports) I ordered this block for myself and a slightly-less-expensive (because he doesn't do yoga all that often) cork block from a different company for my husband. When he saw both of them together, he was very mad that I didn't get him a Manduka block as well.This thing is *heavy* but it is amazingly stabilizing. I don't think I'll take it, ever, to a studio because of the weight, but I'm glad I went with it for home use. This block's edges are all rounded (the block I got for my husband has straight long sides and rounded short sides), which is nice for gripping. I recommend it. |
