I am really enjoying using my cork yoga blocks! They are very different to what I am used to, I used to have the soft foamy type. The cork ones are much harder than the foam style yoga blocks and because of this I find that they don’t feel like they will roll over or squish down with my weight, and they feel much more stable in poses like Triangle. It feels much more like you have brought the floor up, rather than adding in a foamy, wobbly block. I noticed the hardness of the cork block when I rested my forehead down in Child’s pose and Pigeon pose, but it wasn’t uncomfortable, my head just didn’t sink down as it did before with foam blocks. The cork blocks are much heavier than the foam style blocks, which is not a problem for me, but they will make your bag a lot heavier for going back and fore to class. They are a little bit smaller than the foam blocks, but I prefer this and I think the smaller size is much neater and actually works better. They are less of a handful than the foam ones and I actually use them much more in class now, I can easily grab them, where the foam ones felt a bit big and clumsy for me as I have quite small hands. I really love these blocks and I definitely prefer cork to foam, and I wouldn’t go back to foam now. I keep my old foam ones in my car as spares, just incase anyone forgets theirs and wants to borrow them in class!
