Covered with moth...Unfortunately, the two Manduka Cork Blocks I received were smelling very badly and covered with green moth. So I obviously had to return these, and instead I bought the Hugger Mugger Foam Blocks.
Lovely and Renewable--but HeavyI bought a cork block for two reason. First, I thought it would be more hygenic to have my own block (instead of using the ones that hundreds of other people use in a hot yoga class). And second, because it is made of cork, which is a renewal plant (well, tree) product. I like the block a lot. It's a great size and the rounded edges are great. There is no big logo or words or anything big and distracting like that on the block, which is also nice. The one drawback is that it is quite heavy. I use it at home and I will probably take it to classes as well but the weight has me already wondering if I really will do that. If you are getting a block for home or personal use, this would be a great choice! I think it would also be a good choice for a friend who does yoga.
Love the Manduka block!After buying the Manduka mat, which I am still hesitant to take out of the house to the yoga studio, lest I get dirt or scratches on it (yes I know, overkill for home practice), I love the block just as much. I use it to get into Pincha Mayurasana and it is sturdy, the texture feels soft against my fingers, the frog mark is cute and the color is wonderful. There is a certain energy or feel about the block, and I know this sounds very strange, but I am drawn to my mat more to practice yoga with it. I love this far above the small, foamy material cheap standard yoga blocks and it is well worth the extra bucks. Quality matters!
