Hugger Mugger Cork Wedge (Brown)


Sustainable cork

Flexible and sturdy

Multi-use cork wedge

As part of the company's continued commitment to "greening" its products, Hugger Mugger remakes its popular yoga wedge in sustainable cork. The wedge is designed to support your yoga practice from your heels to your hands, making it particular suitable to iyengar, anusara, and restorative yoga. The wedge fits comfortably under your heels for grounding in dog pose or squatting positions, under your hands to ease pressure on your wrists in dog pose, or under your hips for seated poses. Sturdy and stable, the wedge is also light enough to carry just about anywhere. About Hugger Mugger

Sara Chambers, founder of Hugger-Mugger, was an accomplished woodworker when she came to yoga. Its tremendous impact on her health made yoga a way of life for Sara. She began developing wooden and fabric tools to help with her practice. Local teachers and students asked Sara to make things for them, and word spread. Sara continued to develop products for fellow yogis, including the company’s namesake, Hugger-Muggers, the now-famous unisex yoga shorts with a legband around the thighs to cover what’s underneath. Since the word hugger-mugger means to conceal, the catchy name Hugger-Mugger fit. Among Hugger-Mugger's most noted designs is the Tapas Sticky Mat, which has become the yoga practice essential. Predecessor mats were not designed specifically for yoga and would deteriorate quickly with us. The Tapas Sticky Mat was the first long-term performance yoga mat and continues to set the standards for the industry. For more than 20 years, Hugger-Mugger has been known as an innovator of technically excellent yoga products serving yoga teachers and students throughout the world. Hugger-Mugger is committed to developing products of performance, style, and comfort. The company strongly believes in the benefits of the practices of yoga and meditation.

This slant-board is sturdy, lightweight, has a bit of give but feels steady under the hands. My wrists don't bend as far back as most people's, and this helps me in doing full-arm balances in yoga. Highly recommended....

My wrists have very little bend in them so I thoroughly researched my options for a wedge. Sadly this one is so slippery that not only does it not make poses like crow and handstand more comfortable, it actually makes them scarier. Maybe there was something faulty with the finish on the one I received? I actually had my instructor and a couple other yoga friends try it out and they agreed that there was something wrong with it. I'd love advice from anyone else who's had luck!

That said, I can see how it could be very helpful, if it had some grip to it. The height is very gentle and the cork has a little bit of give, but not so much that you'd feel unstable. Hugger Mugger has so many nice, functional products; I just can't understand how this one is such a bust....

Helpful in relieving pressure in the wrists for my students in downward dog. Most people prefer the cork to the wooden version. Ultimately, one just must learn to use their arms, legs, and shoulders correctlynin the pose. Then you don't feel weight in the wrists and don't need this thing anymore....
