Amazon.com Product Description Improve your yoga routine with this low-impact yoga block. The all-natural cork block, which measures 9 by 4 by 6 inches (W x H x D), will help you refine your alignment and balance in certain standing and sitting poses. It's particularly effective in lyengar yoga, which employs props within its postures to improve strength, stamina, and flexibility.

fooled - only get one block June 14, 2008 1 out of 6 found this review helpful
got fooled thought this was going to be a pair of blocks not just one block - wouldn't have bought it if i had realized it was just one block now it isn't worth sending back because of the amount of money spent to ship it - moz
Good yoga block November 24, 2007 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
My yoga studio has the foam bricks that many of us have seen before. These are useful for a few poses, and I wanted something similar for home practice. But I could not justify purchasing a "foam" brick, since these are actually made of plastic that is really nasty in terms of manufacturing. I don't want to put my money towards that. Obviously the world does not need more plastic crap that will end up in a landfill.
So I bought this one. It's more substantial than a typical foam brick - slightly larger and heavier, without being unwieldy. I have small hands and I do not find it to be too large. As an added bonus, I find the surface of this block to be slightly less slippery than the foam blocks, always useful for when your hands get sweaty.
I'm very happy with this purchase.
