Why this gift works
The Manduka Cork Yoga Block is a solid, high-density cork block measuring 4 by 6 by 9 inches and weighing 2.2 pounds. Its edges are beveled and rounded, and the natural cork surface has a texture for grip. Manduka says to wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap and not to submerge it.
Blocks bring the floor closer, which helps with reach, balance and alignment in standing and seated poses. Cork is firmer and steadier than foam, so it does not squash under weight, which makes it a sensible gift for anyone working on flexibility, beginner or regular.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A beginner working on reach
- A regular who wants steadier props
- Pairing with a strap
Think twice if
- They want light props to carry
- They practice somewhere damp
The catch
At 2.2 pounds it is heavier than foam blocks, it must not be soaked because cork can swell, it should be kept out of direct sun and humidity, and it is sold as a single block when many routines use two.
Skip if they carry props to class every day - lighter foam blocks travel better.
