Sustainability
Cork is the thick bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus suber). The bark of the cork tree can be stripped off every 10 trees without damaging the trees, which can live for 170 - 250 years. Cork is a sustainable resource that is both renewable and biodegradable.

About Yoga Design Lab
The idea for Yoga Design Lab started on a vacation in Bali. Looking around, all our founder, Chad Turner, saw was a sea of unoriginal, mass produced, solid colored yoga mats.
His thinking: There must be a way of creating a highly functional product that was also aesthetically beautiful. The inspiration grew and our journey began.
By blending fashion-forward design elements with innovative functionality and bio-renewable consciousness, the LIVE. BEAUTIFUL.® Yoga Design Lab approach was born.
From our hot yoga mats consisting of biodegradable natural tree rubber and 15 recycled plastic bottles each, to the water based inks used in our printed designs, we believe everyone can start by choosing better products for the earth.
What are people saying about Yoga Cork Block?
How to use
To use a cork yoga block, start by placing it on a stable surface, ensuring it’s positioned where you need support during your practice. Cork blocks are great for adding height, stability, and support in various poses. For standing poses like forward folds or triangle pose, place the block under your hands or feet to modify the pose to your level of flexibility.
In seated poses, you can sit on the block to elevate your hips, helping to align your spine and improve posture. For restorative poses, the block can be used for gentle support under the back, neck, or knees to enhance relaxation and comfort.
Always use the flat or beveled sides of the block depending on the height and stability you need. After use, wipe the cork block with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Cork blocks are durable, stable, and provide a firm, eco-friendly support during yoga practice.
