Trapezoidal Cork Block

The trapezoidal cork block is a cork yoga block with angled sides, and the supplier designed it to work three ways: as a regular block, a handstand block and a wedge. It measures 23 x 12 x 6.5cm and weighs 700g.

Cork is a fine-grained material with a firm, textured surface that’s easy to grip. Turn this block over and the angled faces give you a slope in place of a flat top, which is what lets it double as a wedge.

How to use it

As a wedge, rest the heels of your hands on the thick edge with your fingers running down the slope, in plank, tabletop or downward dog. Your wrists don’t have to bend back as far as they do on a flat floor. The same slope works under your heels in a squat, or under the balls of your feet for calf raises.

For handstand practice, place your hands on the block and let your fingers grip the sloped edge. The edge gives your fingertips something to press into, which helps you spread your weight across the whole hand as you balance.

Lying down, it can go under your sacrum in a supported bridge, or sit under the pelvis as a wedge for a gentler tilt. As a regular block, use it flat under a hand in standing poses the same way you would any block.

Who it suits

It suits people who want one cork prop that covers wrist work, handstand drills and ordinary block poses. If you want a matched set of wedges, look at the cork wedge set of 3. For a full-size flat block, the cork yoga block is 23 x 15 x 7.5cm. Browse the rest in our yoga blocks and wedges.

Care

Wipe it with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Don’t leave it soaking or in a wet bag. Cork picks up small dents and marks with use, which is normal.
