Hatha Yoga Walnut Wood Yoga Block, Natural Walnut from Iowa, Premium Brick, Eco-Friendly Yoga Accessories for Yoga, Pilates & Stretching

Not too heavy even it’s wood

I really like this block, but know very little about yoga, so I'm looking to find more ways to use it. I am using it directly under my back and the stretch feels amazing. It's very lightweight but completely stable and strong enough to stand on with all my weight (120 lbs for reference). It is very smooth and just feels nice to the touch.

This is a lightweight very smooth and slippery wood (on the outside) yoga block. It may be challenging to use for half moon and support during poses where you may be concerned about the hand slipping off the block. (It does have smooth, comfortable edges though!) If you’re sweaty and grab it, it may be even more challenging just to even hold it to move it around to where you want it without dropping it.I’ve ended up putting it in my Restorative Yoga stash, to support limbs and maybe hang out in a supported fish with the block under my spine, helping open my chest. It’s also very smooth, and so I pet it every once in a while, when I find it in my space. :) I don’t take it to class with me though. It stays at home.It’s a well made block. It’s just a very specific item that I don’t think makes an all-around, versatile and useful block. I prefer a cork block or a harder foam block for most of my class needs. (Unless it’s Restorative Yoga - then squishy blocks are fine.)

I can’t see charging $29.99 for a piece of wood. I like this bock, however if you have back problem this isn’t the best underneath block. I like it for beginners who can’t reach the floor and exercises like lunge cat/cows neither of which I need. It’d solid and well made, but you should get 2 for the price. 3 stars.

This is a beautiful and elegant yoga block. It is the traditional size. It is nicely weighted but still easy to lift with one hand. The wood is exceptionally smooth and the the wood grain is lovely.

This is a nice and solid-feeling yoga block with a beautiful wood grain finish. For some poses and exercises, my conventional yoga blocks are just too squishy and unstable, causing me to shift around during use; However, this block gives me consistent support keeping me nice and stable, and can support my full body weight. I also like that it’s much more lightweight than it looks. Somehow it manages to feel lightweight and solid at the same time. I suspect that it’s hollow, but if it is then it doesn’t feel that way. It’s just the only explanation for it being so light, and I like that it’s not cumbersome to carry around or difficult to reposition on the fly. The rounded edges and corners also make it comfortable to use. In many ways the flow while using this is the same as a standard yoga block, except that it doesn’t “give.” I just hope that it never drops and breaks open, as it is a bit pricey.

This wood block is not only stunning, but its lighter weight compared to my other all-wood blocks really makes it easier to use. I love using it for forward bends and bridge poses—it’s got smooth edges that feel great when I’m resting my weight on it. Plus, the solid design adds a nice touch to my practice; it feels good to use a quality prop that looks this sharp!

This is a really beautiful peice, but may not be for everyone.Pros:1. Beautiful wood that has a rich deep color.2. Great for added stability for yoga or balance3. A typical yoga block size which is great for practice4. No wood smell or smell from the wood stainOther notes:1. Weight- I was unsure what to expect when I got it, bit it is a hollow wood block and not solid so it is actually really light. I might have preferred a solid for the weight as that helps me balance better. It's similar to a foam block in weight.2. Comfort- it's not overly comfortable to sit on or have on your black. I prefer to use it as a stabilizer and hold in to it with my hands when bending over or folding or resting my toes in it.Overall it's a nice addition to my practice.
