This product is a game-changer not just for yoga but for push-ups as well! I was initially skeptical about the price, especially when compared to other push-up handles in the market, but trust me, there’s a good reason why these sturdy, ergonomic handles cost more. Most push-up handles have a very narrow bar, which means you end up putting all your weight on a small surface area. This can be extremely uncomfortable and even lead to injuries in the long run. These handles are by far the widest I’ve found; they allow for equal weight distribution, resulting in less strain and more comfort during your workouts. I started using push-up handles because my wrists would hurt from doing push-ups directly on the floor. Regular handles did help to some extent by allowing me to keep my wrist straight, but they wreaked havoc on my carpal tunnel. It was a frustrating compromise until I found these incredible handles. These handles are, without a doubt, the best in the market. They have a divot for you thumb and wide grip to provide exceptional support and significantly reduce the strain on your wrists and hands. In short, if you’re struggling with discomfort or pain during your push-ups, do yourself a favor and invest in these handles. They are worth every penny. The comfort and support they offer are unmatched - you won’t regret it! Read more
I am SO glad I took the chance on these grips - they have given me back downward facing dog, headstand, and all other weight bearing poses on the hands. I have arthritis in the CMC joint at the base of my thumb, which makes pressure on the palm and wrist flexion very painful. The grips are super grippy, so no worries about them slipping. Game changer, and worth the money. Read more
25 Stars!! Osteoarthritis in both thumb joints appeared summer 2022 and threatened my practice, a thumb brace did not help. These grips relieve the pressure on the joint by shifting the load to palms. Putting weight into forefinger and thumb with spread fingers may be the downdog cue, instead I confidently lean into these grips that remove the pressure previously aggravating my arthritic joints. Fast, power yoga transitions moving with each breath complicate the repositioning of grips, so when I pass through downward dog for a mere half a breath just to enter into a warrior (rather than holding the DD pose) I rest palms briefly along the bottom edge in the longitudinal position relative to mat rather than repositioning them horizontally, as suggested for the DD pose. Otherwise, they support side planks, half vinyasas, even crow, meaning they're strong enough to repeatedly support even full body weight. I shift them to the back of the mat with me when the flows take us there. Nonslip grips sold separately are necessary for sweaty practice or hands, even if the studio isn't truly hot. Lots of straight days of yoga using these things, and no joint flare up. Previously, I feared losing my practice as the newly arisen arthritis flared up from the yoga loading. I'm sincerely grateful. Updated Feb 2023 Still Saving Yoga for me, no thumb joint arthritis aggravation when I use these beauties! Wow! Updated Aug 2023 to comment on the excellent, responsive, courteous customer support from this small business. I experienced a grip failure. The maker explained that of the thousands sold mine was the fourth piece having this problem, they discovered and understand why it occurs, had fixed the problem at the manufacturing step, and took care of me. I bought a backup set, too, these are that important to keeping me on my mat absent arthritis pain. SEPT 2024 -- still saving my practice!! Thank you, Yoga Grip, for that and superior seller responsiveness. A product that I can't live without. Sept 2025 -- loving this product!! Durable and essential. I bought a second pair for when the fast, one breath one movement flows go curcular, back to front of mat then back to front repeatedly, avoids constantly move one set of grips around. Still saving my yoga!! Read more
Great help for yoga and functional weight training for those with wrist weakness. Love them! Read more
I never liked using any gadget for yoga. and thinking how was this thing possible to help me with my injured thumb during yoga… i continued my yoga and my thumb got worse and worse. until my thumb hurt so bad that i could not even do down dog… Finally i decided that I need to give it a try or i need to just stop yoga completely to avoid permanently injured my thumb. I am so glad! my thumb is still not healed and prob never will fully recover. but i can do down dog, and other poses, etc again without hurting too much. thank you so much for this great yoga grip!

I've been struggling for the past few years with cranky wrists when doing even some of the basic yoga moves like downward dog and plank. I was happy to try these out and they have really helped my wrist posture for certain moves so that I can still keep a flow but use them as a tool. It takes a minute to get used to turning them the right way depending upon which position you are doing, but they also included a printed sheet with a visual of how to do this which was super helpful. I especially liked the feel of the grips. They are squishy while still being firm enough to grasp and get traction. If you take them to hot yoga, or if you are a sweaty type, i would suggest wearing yoga gloves or put a small rag over them if your session is going to be wet for a better grip. Overall great product if you've been challenged in the wrist department, but would like to keep your practice going. Great Yoga tool to add to your bag! Read more
