Yogistar Yogiblock Nature Yogablock

Very stable and robust yoga block made from natural cork to support asana postures.

Available in basic, big, and supersize. The cork used for the production of the yoga blocks is granulated cork. This new granulated cork comes from the waste of cork used to make wine bottle closures.

The cork oak, Quercus super, grows in Portugal and other countries bordering the western edge of the Mediterranean basin. Cork is harvested by removing the bark of the tree. Cork harvesting is 100% safe for the tree, which is not cut down, and its surface suffers no damage. The harvesting occurs in a cycle of 9 to 10 years. The cork oak must be about 25 years old before the first harvest (untouched cork), and then nine years must pass before it can be harvested again. Fortunately, the cork oak lives for 180 to 200 years, allowing for 15 to 20 harvests.

What makes cork so special are its properties and applications:

Properties: Lightweight, elasticity, impermeability, insulation, abrasion resistance, hypoallergenic, and fire-resistant.

Areas of application: Construction, interior design, leisure, fashion, and technology.

Purchasing and using cork products contributes to the preservation of a natural, renewable resource and an important ecological environment in the western Mediterranean countries.
