Gaiam Yoga Block Wedge ($15)
Another unconventional design, this Gaiam wedge is a great way to support your body in many postures, including Downward Dog. Sliding this block under your palms (with the tallest side facing you) in this pose takes some of the pressure off the wrists.
Why we love it: Some happy customers say this wedge has helped their hands and wrists feel "so much better" after using it for Downward Dog and planks. Others use it under their hips during ab exercises or seated postures.
What's worth noting: Some customers wish this wedge was a little taller to further eliminate the pressure on their wrists, while others find it a bit slippery.
