Gaiam Performance Natural Cork Yoga Block

I am new to Yoga and have all the flexibilty that years of sedintary behavior can produce. This product is solid and gives me a feeling of stabilty that I need at this point. The cork texture and the weight are very pleasin as well. I would recommend this highly from my perspective as a beginner. Service was prompt and smooth.

The cork blocks are strong and soft at the same time.

We ordered a number of these blocks for an outdoor yoga space and really loved them. They aren't as soft as other blocks, but they're sturdy and a great product.

I received the product the middle of May for my home practice during quarantine (practicing 2-4 times per week). The blocks are solid and offer good support. I like the rounded edges. These are a quality product that I will have for years to come.

I had bought one a few years ago, and love it. The one I bought this past month does not match the design that is shown on the website. VERY DISAPPOINTING! I wanted a matching set with the OM symbol. What I got was just the Gaiam flower circle symbol. It does not even have the "Gaiam SOL" wording on it. Oh well, at least it is cork and it matches in that sense. Gaiam should update their photo of the item, to match what they are sending out.

Although beautiful and well made, this doesn't work for me at all.  It weighs a ton, so is inconvenient to carry in my yoga bag, and uncomfortable to move around during practice.   It's also very hard, so not pleasant to touch.  I'll be returning it and going back to my old foam block.
