{"product_id":"wooden-yoga-brick","title":"Wooden Yoga Brick - Premium Block for Stability \u0026 Comfort","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Wooden Yoga Brick is our take on a prop most people meet as compressed foam or coated cork. We build it from solid ash, the same wood we use for our balance boards and sadhu boards. One piece per block, hand-selected in the Kostopil workshop and finished by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy wood instead of foam or cork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA yoga block should be dense, silent, and honest. Foam blocks compress a little every time you drop your weight into them, and within a year the corners round out. Cork holds up better but still deforms with heavy use. Solid ash does neither. It gives you the same surface on the first day and on the ten-thousandth. Eugene, our founder, uses one in his own daily practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood:\u003c\/strong\u003e solid ash (Fraxinus excelsior), kiln-dried\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 in x 6 in x 3 in (23 cm x 15 cm x 7.5 cm) - the standard yoga block dimension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 1.2 kg (2.6 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e three coats of food-safe linseed oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e handcrafted in the METADESK workshop, Kostopil, Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdges:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-sanded to a smooth rounded chamfer, no sharp corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9x6x3 dimension is the standard set by most yoga teacher training programs. Placed on its shortest face it sits low for gentle support; on its medium face for hand-standing poses; on its longest face for full seated elevation. Practitioners under 5'4\" sometimes prefer a slightly narrower profile - write to us if you want a custom cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYoga Block FAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to break the block in?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Wood is not foam. There is nothing to compress. Day one feels the same as year five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a wooden block too hard for restorative practice?\u003c\/strong\u003e For active practice, wood is the right choice. For supported reclined poses where you rest on the block for long stretches, foam may feel more forgiving. Many practitioners keep one of each for different styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe with a slightly damp cloth after use. Once a year, rub in a thin coat of raw linseed oil or natural beeswax. That is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it get wet?\u003c\/strong\u003e Splashes and sweat are fine. Do not leave it in standing water or in direct sun for weeks. Treat it the way you would a good wooden cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it compare to cork?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork is lighter and slightly more textured. Wood is denser, silent under weight, and outlasts cork by many years. In a busy studio, cork edges wear within 2-3 years; ash typically does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you ship a matched pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. If you order two, we cut them from adjacent stock so the grain matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe down with a damp cloth after each practice. Store away from direct sun and radiators. Once a year, refresh with a thin coat of raw linseed oil or beeswax; wipe off any excess after 30 minutes. Properly kept, a wooden yoga block outlasts every other prop in your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMade to order in Kostopil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach block is cut, sanded, and finished by hand.
