The Ultimate Guide to Using Ergonomic Yoga Blocks for Wrist Health

Yoga is a fantastic practice for both mind and body, but for many, wrist pain can be a barrier to enjoying its full benefits. Enter WRISTBuddy® Yoga Blocks – designed to alleviate wrist strain and provide ergonomic support. In this guide, we’ll explore how to use these innovative blocks to enhance your yoga practice and protect your wrists.

Why Ergonomic Yoga Blocks?

Traditional yoga blocks are useful. But, they don’t address the potentially harmful wrist compression issue. WRISTBuddy® Yoga Blocks are specifically designed to shift pressure from your wrists to your palms, which is much more comfortable and reduces the risk of wrist injury.

How to Use WRISTBuddy® Yoga Blocks:

1. Downward Dog: Position the blocks so the thumb impressions face each other. The blocks are marked left and right above the logo. Place your hands on the blocks with your thumbs and fingers wrapped around the contours. This reduces the wrist angle and shifts weight to the palms.
2. Plank Pose: Use the blocks to elevate and support your hands. The blocks will help you maintain a neutral wrist position near 45 degrees.
3. Arm Balances: The ergonomic shape provides a secure grip, enhancing stability and reducing wrist strain. 

Tips for Effective Use:

1. Always align the blocks correctly with the contours matching your hand shape. Keep the left block on your left and the right block on your right.
2. Start with basic poses to get accustomed to the feel and support.
3. Gradually incorporate the blocks into more advanced poses as your comfort level increases.

With WRISTBuddy® Yoga Blocks, you can enjoy a safer, more comfortable yoga practice. Your wrists will thank you!
