Problem: You love practicing your yoga; you’ve perfected every move with great precision. But many of the yoga positions require you to balance on your wrist, sometimes causing sharp pain. You don’t want to ditch your downward facing dog, but your wounded wrist needs some time out.
Solution: For moves that require resting the weight of your body on your wrist, use a
Yoga Stick-e Wrist Saver ($19.95,
Amazon.com). The internal padding offers firm protection and guards your wrist from injuries that can occur with one-too-many yoga moves by alleviating pressure on the joints. So you can breathe a sigh of relief and go on with your Plank position with painless ease.
