Gaiam Yoga Block Wedge - Lightweight EVA Foam - Yoga Wedge for Wrist and Lower Back Support - Slant Board for Comfortable Yoga Poses and Angles, (20" L x 6" W x 2" H), Deep Purple

I bought this item for use after a hip revision surgery. It was important that my leg stay straight and not roll out (or in) for several weeks after surgery. I placed the wedge in a pillow case and put it on the outside of my operated leg from the ankle to the knee. It worked great. It was just enough lift to keep my leg from rolling out and gave good support so it was comfortable. Maybe I’ll take up Yoga as part of my extended recovery. Right now I’m just working on getting to walk again and am unable to bend much. The product is great and I was very happy to have found it to use.

I got this wedge to use under my hands in yoga class because I've been having pain in the heels of my palms. It helps somewhat, but not as much as I'd hoped. More of a me problem than the wedge itself lol I prefer sitting on this instead of a block, so I still find it useful. I like the color & that it's very light weight. Its also held up well - for over a year, I kept it in my car between classes, through all sorts of temperatures/ humidity & I store it with my cork blocks, which have a rough-ish texture. My only complaint is that I wish the edge on the high end was softer/ more rounded - it's a little uncomfortable when I'm putting all my weight on my hands & the edge presses into my palms.

Needed this to help my wrist during yoga, it kind of helps but my wrist are still sore afterwards. It also slides on my mat.

I practice yoga regularly at home and at a studio. One of the top things I love in yoga is the ability to modify. I have thumb arthritis and placing my hands on the wedge has allowed me to perform many poses without pain. I have used Gaiam products over the years and have always been pleased with their quality and comfort. The block wedge lives up to their reputation.

I bought this after wrist surgery to help me return to my yoga practice. I found it somewhat useful but my hands tended to slip if I put my whole hand on the block. You need to keep your fingers on your mat to prevent slipping.

I'm a runner and I do a lot of strength and mobility work. My PT had me doing calf raises on a 3" half foam roller, but that was too steep for me. This wedge has just the right amount of incline and it's comfortable to use in bare feet. When I do calf raises on this wedge, I don't get shin splints when I run.

My yoga teacher took me I needed one of these to help stretch out my hamstrings. It works like a charm!

I have a tight ankle and can't get foot on the floor - need a wedge this is perfect YOGA wedge for under your foot when doing poses- easy to maneuver on your mat long and stable when using in a pose lightweight

La compré como complemento de mi home gym, para elevar los talones y hacer squats con y sin peso y por el momento han funcionado muy bien (las compré hace unos dos meses y las uso varias veces por semana)

Excellent product for helping with squats. I use it daily. Very firm foam and is holding up extremely well. Would buy again.

I bought this to help ease wrist pain in wheel pose. I work a lot with my hands and noticed last month some tendinitis creeping in. Stays in place on the mat... wouldn’t use it without one. What’s great about the wedge in wheel is that it helps me access my shoulder girdle more so there’s less twisting in my wrists! Anyhow... I could see this being useful in a lot of other ways. Nice addition to my yoga bag of tricks.

Para el material, me parece que el precio es elevado.

It didn’t cure my wrists, but it sure did help me to be able to be in table top for long amounts of time while I strength trained my wrists and regained their flexibility without having to for-go my regular work out. Highly recommend, it keeps its shape and the colour is cute, especially if you have an aesthetic workout gear set ^_^
