The angled surface reduces wrist extension in poses like Down Dog and Plank, makes backbends more accessible by tilting the body's natural line, and assists alignment in lunges and seated work. One shape, three uses.

People with wrist pain or carpal-tunnel concerns; beginners who find standard rectangular blocks uncomfortable under the hands; and anyone training handstands or progressing into deeper backbends.

Place the thin edge under the heel of the palm in Down Dog or Plank. This raises the heel-of-hand and reduces the wrist extension angle — typically from around 80° to around 45°. Less compression, less strain, longer comfortable holds.

One block helps one hand. A pair gives symmetric wrist support across both hands in Down Dog, supports both arms in Warrior poses, and lets you use them as paired props in backbends. If you'll use it daily, the pack of 2 is the buy.

Cork. The angled surface has to support full bodyweight under the hands without compressing — foam squashes unpredictably. Cork's density makes the wedge angle stable, which is the whole point.

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap after use. Air dry completely before storing. Cork is naturally antimicrobial.
