Manduka Cork Block

Excellent piece of equipment for yoga, basically if you need a cork block by default you go with manduka

This block is heavier than most. It is very sturdy and stable for home practice. I like the grip of the cork. It feels very secure.

I like this yoga block over others I've tried because it's heavy and feels much more sturdy. I am fairly new to yoga so it's nice to know that it's not going anywhere plus the texture of the cork is preferable in my opinion to the more foam feeling ones. I recommend it.

Having recently started doing yoga as a way to primarily improve my flexibility and balance for sports such as Nordic skiing, I quickly found the need for a block to help me get into some of the poses that challenge my, admittedly quite poor, flexibility. This block is great - nice and solid, feels very secure and does a great job supporting me.

I have two of these for my home practice, and always grab two at the studio for class. I strongly prefer the stability of cork over foam. I also appreciate the extra weight as a challenge when in certain poses. These hold up well (as in they aren't falling apart, despite wear and tear) and have no funky smell. The cork also provides a good grip.

-its 2lbs so its got some weight, which is great for stability, and using it for your bum, also allows you to really use all sides and positions of the rectangle
-non toxic, sustainable material, doesn't smell bad
-great grip even if you sweat like a pig like me
-sometimes i just sit on it, while im sitting in front of the tv
-great product
