Why Choose KELLO Cork Blocks vs Other Cork or TPE Blocks?
If you’re looking for reliable, stable, and long-lasting yoga blocks, the KELLO Cork Block Set stands above standard cork blocks and TPE/foam blocks. Designed for yogis who value support, grounding, and proper alignment, these blocks offer professional-grade performance in every style of practice.
What Makes KELLO Cork Blocks Special?
KELLO blocks aren’t just “another cork block.” They’re made using premium high-density cork, giving them a noticeably sturdier feel, a more stable base, and greater control during practice compared to lighter, cheaper alternatives.
1. High-Density Cork for Superior Stability
Many cork blocks are made with standard or low-density cork, which can feel soft, compressible, or unstable in weight-bearing poses. KELLO blocks use a high-density cork structure that:
- Provides reliable firmness during standing and balancing poses
- Maintains its shape without dents or compressions
- Gives a solid, grounded feel — ideal for deeper stretches
- Supports proper alignment in challenging postures
This density ensures you can put your full trust in the block, whether under your hands, hips, spine, or shoulders.
2. Heavier Weight = More Grounding & Control
Unlike foam or TPE blocks — and even many lightweight cork blocks — KELLO Cork Blocks have a more substantial weight. This is a major advantage:
- They don’t slide or wobble on wooden, tiled, or carpeted floors.
- You feel grounded and supported during strength-based movements.
- Better distribution of weight makes them ideal for restorative and yin poses.
- More control when transitioning between poses or stacking blocks.
A heavier yoga block is safer for beginners and more reliable for advanced practitioners — a true win-win.
3. Cork vs TPE/Foam — Why Cork Wins
Cork blocks are generally superior to TPE or foam blocks, but KELLO takes it even further. Here’s why cork is the professional-standard choice:
- Natural anti-microbial properties — cork resists moisture, odour, and bacteria.
- Better grip — the surface becomes grippier with sweat.
- More durable — foam blocks dent, crumble, or lose shape quickly.
- Eco-conscious — cork is renewable and biodegradable.
- No chemical smell — unlike PVC/TPE blocks.
Cork provides a firm, stable, and comfortable surface that supports your practice without collapsing or deforming.
4. Superior Craftsmanship & Finish
KELLO blocks have a smooth, refined finish that makes them comfortable to grip, even during longer sessions. The edges are contoured for comfort, allowing for better hand placement in poses like Ardha Chandrasana, Trikonasana, and supported bridges.
5. Eco-Friendly, Sustainable Choice
KELLO Cork Blocks use responsibly sourced cork harvested without harming trees. If sustainability and low-impact materials matter to you, cork is the clear choice over synthetic TPE or foam alternatives.
