YogaPaws and Wrist Support

Whether you're flowing through downward dog or holding a plank in Pilates, wrist strain is one of the most common challenges faced by practitioners at all levels.

At YogaPaws, we understand how essential comfort and support are, especially when it comes to your wrists. That’s why our grip gloves are thoughtfully designed to provide wrist support without compromising freedom of movement.

Why Wrist Support Matters in Yoga and Pilates

From yoga poses like crow to Pilates exercises that require load-bearing through the hands, your wrists take on a surprising amount of pressure. Most people are not used to taking the load on their wrists and, without the right support, this can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, or even long-term injury.

Our YogaPaws gloves are dsigned to provide the support needed and are ideal for:

• Practitioners with sensitive joints or previous wrist injuries
• Yogis and Pilates lovers looking to improve alignment and grip stability
• Anyone seeking extra cushioning without a bulky wrist brace

Ergonomic Design for Joint-Friendly Movement

YogaPaws gloves feature patented ergonomic padding that molds to your palms, providing targeted cushioning that relieves pressure on the wrists. The result? A more confident, grounded practice — whether you're at the studio, at home, or on the go.

Combined with a non-slip grip surface, our gloves help reduce strain during load-bearing exercises by evenly distributing weight and improving hand-to-floor contact. This can make a significant difference in moves like:

• Downward dog or handstands in yoga
• Plank, push-ups, or arm work in mat Pilates
• Strength and mobility drills in fitness training

YogaPaws Elite for Extra Wrist Support

YogaPaws come in 2 thicknesses, with the "Elite" range providing extra padding to give the additional wrist support for those who need it.

• Elite: For practitioners who prefer extra cushioning (5mm of TPE - yoga mat material) and joint support. This extra padding relieves pressure and strain on the wrist within those weight bearing yoga postures.  Creating a soft connection with the earth. 
• SkinThin: For those who want lightweight feel and maximum floor connection

YogaPaws are available as gloves only or a full set of gloves and socks which combined allow the perfect grip to be able to practice anywhere and without a mat.

What YogaPaws Users Say

"I purchased these because I was having some wrist soreness. I love these yoga paws; they make my practice so much better. The customer service was also 5 stars. I had a right foot that was a little off, and they replaced it right away. If you're looking to better your practice, you should definitely purchase these."

Lisa's review of YogaPaws Elite - Full Set

"The yoga paws elite set is perfect for travel. As someone with chronic pain from injuries, it is essential that I have the ability to practice yoga daily; however, traveling for work does not afford me the opportunity to do so with a traditional mat and baggage restrictions. I tried these as an alternative and was amazed with the comfort and quality they provide. They are always packed and ready for all my trips. I love them!"

Jenn's review of YogaPaws Elite - Full Set

"I have complications from carpal tunnel surgery (minor wrist edema), and have NEVER been able to tolerate weight on my palms for long in yoga practice. I substituted Dolphin for Downwards-facing Dog, did Chatarunga on my knuckles, etc., making constant modifications from Day 1 as a beginner - about a decade ago.

Now, thanks to these, I am experimenting with working on my palms for the first time EVER! True, I am also working on top of a nice thick rug and 2 (thin/moderate thickness) yoga mats, but! That was insufficient padding before I got the YogaPaws Elite. The gripping surface does so much work for me, and the top breathes nicely."
