These durable, 100% natural Cork Yoga & Pilates Blocks are suitable for all and provide optimal grip, supporting, stabilising and aligning your body and are lighter than wooden bricks. They have rounded edges and corners for extra comfort and support. Cork Yoga Bricks are a great option to extend the stretch of some poses for advanced yogis and for those who do not feel flexible enough to complete some yoga poses. Ideal for balancing postures like Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon pose) and Utthita Trikonasana (Extended Triangle pose) when reaching the floor is difficult and supporting the crown of the head in Prasarita Padottanasana (Forward Extention Legs Wide Apart). We work with our partners in Portugal to produce sustainable Cork. The cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree, Quercus Suber L. Trees are not cut down to harvest cork. To harvest cork, it is stripped off the tree by hand about every nine years. After harvesting, the tree continues to form new layers and restore its protective barrier. It takes 25 years before the first cork is taken from the tree. Each tree can produce cork for 200 to 250 years. As the trees mature, the harvests produce thicker cork that is even better quality. All our Cork Bricks, Blocks, Mini Cork Wedges and the Long Cork Wedge are all sent out with our Ruth White Yoga Products Butterfly logo on the product - helping to produce and promote more eco friendly Yoga Products.
