It all began with bees, injury, curiosity, and a deep respect for nature
Meet Ariel
Ariel discovered black cork while handcrafting natural hives for his honeybees. He loved the material immediately - its warmth, its grounding texture, the way it held both strength and softness at the same time. It felt alive, like something the earth had made slowly and with care. He knew there was more to explore.
During that time, Ariel was recovering from a shoulder injury. As a dedicated yogi, he didn’t want his practice to slip away, so turned to blocks for support. But the ones he tried felt wrong. Some were too soft, some slipped, others felt stiff or synthetic. None of them felt like an extension of the practice itself.
Then he learned that most cork blocks are made from cork granules bound together with glue. Even the “natural” ones weren’t as clean or sustainable as they appeared. So Ariel decided to create something different.
A block made from pure cork - no binders, no fillers. Nothing but earth-true material crafted to support real bodies in real practice.
