 Lovely and Renewable--but Heavy Dec 17, 2009
By ThisIs
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.

 Love the Manduka block! Sep 22, 2009
By Farnoosh Brock
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!

Big, sturdy, won't let you down. Feb 16, 2012
By Bekenef
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.

Manduka Cork Block Sep 29, 2011
By Desert Girl
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....

Love this blocks Aug 30, 2011
By Annie Oakley
"cowgirl from WI!"
I struggled in finding blocks for my home practice. Though I love good wood blocks for stability, I wanted something that was a bit lighter in weight for travel to work. I looked at bamboo, but they were not much lighter than wood (though certainly more environmental depending upon the type of wood block). I have had foam blocks and never been pleased with the feel.
I LOVE these blocks--they are lighter weight yet stable in my poses. The edges are rounded and pleasing in my hands. They also have a bit of 'give' to them, though not so much to cause instability.
I've purchased other Manduka products, and though a bit more expensive, the quality is excellent. These cork blocks are top of my list for being pleased with a product.
