WRISTBuddy® Yoga Blocks 2 Pack, High Density Non-Slip, Hand-Shaped Design

I was skeptical when I bought these lightweight yet sturdy yoga wrist blocks that came highly recommended to me by both a yoga instructor and a yoga practitioner. I figured I would return them if they didn't work. I had been doing yoga for about five months when I began having sharp pain in my wrists and hands from yoga- positions like downward dog, etc. I had never experienced anything like this before and figured I was probably not able to do yoga any more. I modified my yoga, using my forearms for several weeks and then I saw someone in my yoga class with these blocks and I asked her about these and she said she had the same thing and these helped tremendously and she recommended them. A yoga instructor I spoke to said she had used them prior to having carpal tunnel surgery and they worked well for her. She said after surgery she didn't need them, but that she was beginning to have pain again and thought she might start using them again. Well I ordered them in the purple because that was the fastest delivery, even though I usually like everything in black, and for the past four months have been using them consistently and have had no problems since then. They have provided 100% pain relief. Once in a while I will do a pose without them, but I can sense the pain returning if I push it, so I just use the blocks and am able to continue yoga. It takes a little getting used to with the poses for instance in downward dog you need your arms slightly closer to your feet to maintain balance but you get used to it and I have really come to appreciate these blocks. By the way, I love the purple, they are more cheerful, but any color will do. I can also use them in place of regular blocks for support for several poses such as half moon- so that's a bonus. Even though they're not cheap I consider them to be a value for the money because they are quality made. I 100% recommend these if your are having wrist/hand pain. Buy them now! You will thank yourself!

Well made and have definitely made a difference in my wrist issues. A bit on the pricer side but they work well so that makes them a five star product. Also my yoga instructor noted they are firmer than most of the yoga blocks that are not cork and that is a GOOD thing for support and stability too.

These are a great quality yoga block and the hand holds do make a big difference. My wrists are super happy! Worth the purchase

The shape is very well thought out, and they do function well as yoga blocks to assist with the more challenging poses. They are a good size for me, an adult woman of short/medium height. The material is soft and comfortable. I do have a concern about this item easily getting damaged though. Even when I was opening the packaging for the first time, I managed to indent/damage the blocks with my medium/short length nails in the process. Overall, I would recommend for folks who need a little help with some yoga poses. As far as value for money goes, I do think this was a bit expensive.

I recently purchased the Buddy® Yoga Blocks 2 Pack, and they have truly transformed my yoga practice! These blocks are incredibly sturdy and supportive, making it so much easier to achieve proper alignment in various poses.One of the standout features is how effectively they reduce wrist pain during challenging poses. My daughter, who has been struggling with discomfort in her wrists, found that using these blocks allowed her to practice safely and comfortably. The extra height they provide helps in deepening stretches without straining.The texture is fantastic, offering a non-slip surface that gives confidence during movements. I really love stretching with these, they make it so much more effective.Overall, these Yoga Blocks are a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their yoga experience while minimizing discomfort. Highly recommended!

These things are awesome! Wish I would have bought them years ago. Takes significant pressure out of the wrists while doing yoga.

Perhaps the grip width/position simply isn't good for my tiny hands?? The *idea* is great. My wrists ARE in a better position. For these reasons, I'm not giving less than 3 stars.HOWEVER...in *reality* while your weight IS shifted to your palm instead of wrists... it's roughly only A THIRD of your palm. Once I'm in a plank position, the thumb joint and pad of soft tissue under the thumb joint takes about **70%** of my weight distribution.It painfully stretches the thin web of skin between my thumb and pointer finger (1st pic), stresses out my thumb joint, and puts strain on the radial bone area (2nd pic). The padded area of the palm under the thumb (3rd pic) is a major soft tissue trigger point; those muscles ACHE now. There's also the radial digital artery and median nerve running through there. With my full, planked body weight on that area for several seconds...my hand starts to go NUMB.Buuut I can't return these because I'm an idiot!! 😔 I left these sitting out overnight in my living room...and one of my darn cats sunk their claws into the Right Hand block! Since they're no longer in like new condition because of the puncture holes in the area shown (4th pic), I've just WASTED $44 after taxes.

This item works well. My wrists can now withstand down dogs and planks in my yoga practice!! They're nominally priced. The grip is great. My hands or small but the imprint works for larger hands as well.

Wrist Buddy is amazing extremely helpful if suffering from weak wrists and fingers.

Great blocks, easy to use even with arthritis

Entlastet die Handgelenke bei Übungen auf der Matte. An den veränderten Winkel gewöhnt man sich. Eine große Hilfe insbesondere beim Yoga. Eine gute Investition... Leider etwas teuer.. Ich möchte aber nicht mehr drauf verzichten.

Sono enormi, danno fastidio perché te li ritrovi sempre in mezzo a dove sei tu. E sinceramente bella l’idea ma troppo cari!!!!! È un foam sagomato! E non aiutano neanche i polsi! Avevo deciso di fare l’investimento per il mio dolore al polso ma non servono a nulla. Meglio i miei vecchi push up bar. Ah, dimenticavo! Non riesci a fare chaturanga! Perché non riesci a scendere in mezzo!!

These work great for decreasing strain on my wrists (carpal tunnel) during yoga practice. I do find that the pressure gets transferred to the base of the thumb/palm, which is not necessarily a bad thing. My hands are not small (size 8 glove) and it feels like it's a decent fit, but If you have a very small hand, these could be harder to grip.
