Gaiam Cork Yoga Brick, Made from Sturdy Sustainable Cork, 3 Inch Thickness

This Gaiam Cork Yoga Brick is very sturdy, which makes it excellent for unsteady yoga practitioners. I am not flexible by nature, so when using a brick, I am able to get deeper into poses to get a better stretch. It's got a nice weight to it, as well. Some people might not like the weight, but I do - it feels substantial and will give a little boost to your squat workout if you hold it in your hands. The cork makes an excellent surface for sweaty hands as it is not slippery at all, and is easy to clean by wiping with a wet cloth. A great benefit is that cork is a sustainable product, and it feels better to not be contributing to plastic waste.

Love this style of yoga block so much. It is firm, yet soft enough that it doesn't hurt my hands to grip for long periods of time. It is solid and gives excellent support and is the PERFECT size. It is made by Gaiam and created from sustainable cork, This is a huge bonus as cork is natural and biodegradable. I appreciate companies who are plant conscious.

I love everything about this!!! the quality the feel the size the price The cork material is firm enough to hold my body weight (135lbs) in tricky positions. Yet soft enough to not hurt me against my body. It's soft, lightweight, yet sturdy and strong. Easy to grip and handle. Definitely a perfect item!

This was a lot smoother texture than I expected. It's almost soft, but also has a grip on my mat, carpet and tile floors. It's helped me make some moves easier and others more challenging, depending on what you are doing and how you place it. I will be on the lookout for other sizes of this same item!

I’ve never really done yoga but I do enjoy stretching, specially for my back & hips as they do get stiff. This block helps achieve stretches that otherwise would be too hard or even physically impossible for non-yoga or beginners usually wouldn’t or couldn’t do. It’s lightweight and easy to use & position. Perfect for on the go as well.

Ok so I’m new to the yoga world and I didn’t know that a yoga block was so crucial to get the maximum stretch or for a beginner to keep from hurting them selves. This block is not like any one I’ve used before. It’s not covered in a neoprene or a foam cover. It’s made of cork type material so it’s solid, extremely light weight and you will not slide on this. Amazing. I wouldn’t buy a different type now that I’ve been schooled in how this one should have been in our workout room from day one !

This is a yoga brick measuring 3x6x9 inchs . Made of 100 per cent sustainable cork with no sharp edges. I like it that it has rounded edges and isn't sharp edged like a regular brick would be. I have to admit this is the first time I've seen one on these. This brick will give you the extra inches you may need for exercises such as bending over to touch the floor or yoga exercises. I'm not into yoga but I will use it to do my regular exercises. I would recommend getting 2 to use if you are full figured as you might want to sit on it for some exercises.

The block is awesome- perfect normal size, but be prepared for it to be heavier than the ones at the gym. You can’t grab it with two fingers while staying in triangle poise because you realize at the last minute that you’re a little tight today and could use the block. I like the cork feel though and generally plume the product.

For those who use block in their balance poses or on their workout, this block is for you! I do have a few foam ones that seems cheap when compared with this! My foam ones aren’t as sturdy and this one, and aren’t this solid! So besides being supper sturdy yet soft to the touch it gives balance for my poses and looks pretty on the process. But what I really like it the materials: it is totally earth safe because it is cork!

This cork block is lightweight (not super heavy) so it can be carried easily to a gym outside the home or to any room in the home. Its dimensions mean that a smaller person would use it to its best potential, but a large man or woman would find it lacking support. It wouldn't support my size so isn't usable. One feature I did like was the rounded corners (more comfortable).
