Sustainable fun with yoga
Yoga is the perfect balance to stressful everyday life. Exercises for posture, breathing and concentration can help you find yourself again and gain new strength for the challenges of everyday life.
The yoga block supports correct execution and alignment as well as general mobility in a yoga exercise. The yoga block is made entirely of cork and is therefore easy to care for, skin-friendly and 100% biodegradable.
Why fitness equipment made of cork?
The material used in the yoga block is harvested directly from cork trees in Portugal. The Western European country manufactures high-quality products with fair working conditions. The cork oak is an evergreen deciduous tree whose trunk is ideally suited for the extraction of the environmentally friendly raw material.
When this oak tree is at least 20 years old, it can be used for raw material extraction for the first time. The tree is not felled during harvest. Experienced cork farmers peel the natural material by hand from the tree, which is the only tree in the world not to be injured by this process. Only after seven to ten years can the tree be used again for the cork harvest. This makes cork a 100% sustainable material.
The cork fabric of this yoga tool does not contain any heavy metals or their compounds, organic solvents, mineral fibers or formaldehyde.
Easy care and antibacterial
Cork is the new trend material in fitness, gymnastics, yoga and Pilates. The material, which is otherwise more commonly known as flooring or wine bottle stoppers, consists of 100% natural raw materials, is recyclable and absolutely skin-friendly and easy to care for.
Since cork has an antibacterial effect and bacteria cannot permanently settle on the material, cleaning with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. In addition, cork is very hard-wearing and simply feels pleasant on the skin. A real all-rounder!
