Review on Cork Yoga Block By Hugger Mugger - Non-Slip Texture, Durable, Renewable Cork Material, Rounded Edges For Comfort, Great For Sweaty Hands BL-CORK by Shane Hartford

When I decided to buy a pair of blocks I knew they would be Hugger Mugger. I've tried their foam blocks in the class and they worked great. I definitely wanted something solid and was debating between their cork blocks and foam blocks. I ended up getting the cork blocks because they match my mat better and are eco-friendly. I was a little bit hesitant because I never used cork before and I didn't know if they would hurt my hands or would be too heavy. At the beginning I though they were too hard, but they are not. These are just NICE! I love how these blocks never collapse regardless of how many different asanas I try. I also like how the strenght of the cork material makes me use my muscles better by transmitting my muscle strenght toward other muscles and not buffering it into a soft block. Sturdy, very sturdy but comfortable enough to place and keep it in my back for a while during supine poses. Like others have mentioned, the feel to it is really nice; nice smooth surface and the built is superior quality. They are very well made, surfaces are even and don't look cheap at all. Regarding the weight I don't think they are that heavy. I weighted them & each one is 1.8 lbs. Maybe to carry a pile of them wouldn't be that cool but these are so nice I wouldn't mind taking them to class. These are my first pair of blocks and after using them for a while I don't think I will be back to any other block. They truly a great buy for me. Versatile. These cork blocks work amazing for standing, energizing and restorative poses. They have tremendously helped to open my horizons in my yoga practice. Really love them!
