Origin
- Scoria cork is ethically harvested from trusted sustainable farmers in Portugal and Vietnam, then responsibly manufactured by partners in Asia
Materials
- 100% natural sustainably harvested cork
End of Life
- Reuse or repurpose if possible. Although the cork is biodegradable, Scoria products are still tightly bound with water-based eco-adhesives at a high temperature to give strength and stability, and therefore wouldn't be suitable to break down in a home compost.
Earth Friendly Features
- No trees are cut down or harmed in the making of Scoria's cork products! The cork is stripped from the tree after maturation (around 26 years), and is stripped again after every 9-12 years. The stripping of the cork is a sustainable process that allows cork to regenerate on the tree and unlike the myth of cork being endangered, it actually helps the process of producing more cork for the trees!

I don’t know much about yoga blocks, but doing yoga at home so much during the pandemic, and many YouTube videos have them, so I got two of these to follow along. They are heavier than I initially thought, which is excellent because it makes me feel more confident they will not slip or move when I am putting my weight into them. Graphics on them blocks aren’t for me, but really not the point at all. They work, which is why I bought them.

When the virus closed my local yoga studio, I had to start gathering my own equipment to work out at home. As a result, I only have the plastic/foam blocks from the studio to compare to, and these are significantly more firm than that; it’s especially noticeable when using them on my lower back for poses like supported fish. However, I also feel more stable when using them to balance for half moon. It took some getting used to just because the material is so different from what I was using before, but now I don’t think I could go back!
