Gaiam knows how to build high-quality yoga items. Their cork block and brick is proof. Made from sustainable cork that can also be recycled, it’s become a primary choice of many wannabes and professional yogis for its slip-resistant and support-inducing properties.
Apart from stability, you also get the comfort that comes in handy when doing seated positions for prolonged periods of time. Meditation with this yoga prop located under your bum is an option too.
When incorporating the block into your yoga routine, you are ‘unlocking’ a vast range of advanced poses that weren’t widely available to you before. Then, once you commit to the practice, you will find yourself performing better than you did without yoga blocks.
