These yoga grips are a game-changer
These grippy gadgets are as simple as shavasana—they stick onto the end of your mat, giving your hands a place to grab through all sorts of positions. As creator Rose Pelosi noted on Uncommon Goods, some yoga asanas wear out the wrists quicker than others, like cobra pose, low plank, and of course, downward dog."There’s a tendency to hold most of your weight in the heels of your hands, leading to unnecessary pressure in the wrist," she said.
That's where these grounding tools come into play. Crafted from a soft-but-sturdy silicone, they provide a tool that engages your upper body while dispersing weight throughout your hands, giving your wrists a much-needed break mid-flow. They sort of look like the rubber holds you climb in when you're indoor rock climbing, only this time, they're made to alleviate grip strength and dexterity rather than testing it.
Before the start of your practice, give your yoga mat a good cleaning. After it dries, position your Guiding Yoga Grips shoulder width apart and 6-8 inches from the top of your mat. Think of where your hands naturally end up in downward dog—this is where your grips will go. Once you've figured out where you want them to stick, unpeel the backing and press them firmly into your mat.
