Best Cork Yoga Blocks

1. JBM Yoga Blocks 2 pack Plus Strap

This JBM cork Yoga block is 4” by 6” by 9” and weighs right around 2 pounds. It’s an all natural Yoga block the is environmentally friendly, strong enough to hold up against the most demanding poses and light enough to toss in your gym bag to take with you wherever your ready to practice some poses.

The contoured edges make it ergonomical so it is easy to hold on to for carrying and stabilizing. This means you don’t have to worry about slipping, falling, or losing your balance because of your yoga block.

Who wouldn’t be happy with a single eco-friendly Yoga block that comes with a bonus yoga strap? This block is easy to use and doesn’t slip or slide while using it either. It will definitely assist you in your yoga routines.

JBM offers a 100% money back guarantee if there are any problems with the yoga block or you are not completely satisfied with it.

2. Hugger Mugger Cork Yoga Block

The Hugger Mugger Cork Yoga Block uses a finer grain of cork than that which is typically used in making yoga blocks which allows this block to be lighter than average.

Weighing in at about a pound, with measurements of 9” by 5.5” by 3.5”, it is still sturdy enough to support weight and provide stability, while being easy to carry with you when you go to your yoga class.

This is a high quality yoga block that is worth an extra buck or two for that higher quality. Having a lightweight, ergonomic yoga block is beneficial for several reasons.

The easy to grip block is easy to move between poses and doesn’t weigh down your yoga bag. This block will allow you to do that while still giving you the size requirements of a traditional yoga block.

Hugger Mugger provides a 30-day money back guarantee, cost of shipping not covered.

3. Peace Yoga Cork Wood Yoga Block

These high-density cork yoga blocks are fully slip resistant and available in two sizes. They are eco-friendly and they even look eco-friendly because they have their natural cork/wood appearance.

Weighing in at around 1 pound each, they are extremely lightweight for cork yoga blocks but still provide great stability.

What’s a bit surprising is that you are getting 2 blocks for the price of one. You can choose either 9″x6″x3″ or 9″x6″x4″when you order. That’s basically the price of the cheaper foam ones for a comparable price when you think about it.

The Peace Yoga block is definitely worth considering because of its price point and how well it holds up. Keep in mind that cork is not like solid wood and will eventually crumble unlike foam which is made up of a large piece of solid material.

For how long these lasted, I was really quite surprised though. I liked that these were denser than many other cork blocks and stayed put while doing my routines.

Best Foam Yoga Blocks

4. SUESPORT Yoga Blocks

SUESPORT Yoga BlocksIf you looking for inexpensive Yoga blocks, these SUESPORT foam yoga blocks are just the thing for you to help with your routines.

For a budget price, you get two yoga blocks made from 4 pounds of high-density foam that provide excellent support and stability at a very inexpensive price.

They are made from biodegradable, eco-friendly foam that is safe to use as well as strong and durable.

I can easily see why these yoga blocks have a very high rating by other users. While using them, I had no issues with sliding or slipping.

Plus, they were very comfortable to use as the foam gives just enough to be comfortable but not so much as they are not supportive.

With a 100% money back guarantee, if you aren’t happy with the blocks, no problem.

5. Veda Yoga Foam Blocks

Veda Yoga Foam BlocksFor a little bit more than the SUESPORT Yoga Blocks, you can get the Vega Yoga Foam Blocks. You get two foam yoga blocks PLUS a yoga strap. Made from standard high density foam with beveled edges to make it comfortable to hold on to while being sturdy.

It was pretty obvious why others love these yoga blocks! These were very comfortable and I found that they were easy to move around while shifting from one pose to another but I also found that they stayed put when I needed them when actually in a pose.

Very good combination. These are quality yoga blocks for a good price and with the included strap they are definitely worth your consideration.

6. Manduka Unisex Recycled Foam Block

The Manduka blocks are made from recycled foam, so they are environmentally friendly. The blocks are made in the USA for those who prefer to buy American made products.

Plus, it comes in a variety of different colors and combinations from a solid charcoal or red to seafoam green, white and gray. The blocks don’t have an odor that can sometimes come with foam products and they weigh around 2 pounds each.

These are a little more expensive for a foam block considering you get just one block with your purchase but I found the block easy to use during my practice. The fun reminder to “practice on” that is engraved on the side of the block is nice as it is not just plain old boring block.

This block comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

7. Gaiam Yoga Block

Though there is only one yoga block included with your purchase of a Gaiam Yoga Block, you also get a 6-foot-long and 1.5-inch-wide yoga strap as well which is another great prop to help with your routines. This yoga strap is great for helping to deepen your yoga experience and increase your flexibility.

This block is very inexpensive considering you get a good quality yoga block that is made from a soft yet durable high density foam that is great for assisting with poses, increasing flexibility and anything else you can do while practicing your yoga routine.

While using this yoga block, I found that the softer foam was very comfortable for many poses that required laying down or stretching while sitting. If I wanted to deepen my pose or not go as deep, I used the block to adjust my pose.

Your purchase includes a one-year manufacturer’s warranty against any manufacturer defect.
