Sadhu Boards: Handcrafted Nail Boards for Standing Meditation

Why Tengry Sadhu Boards

  • Three nail spacings

    8 mm for a gentle start, 10 mm for most people, 12 mm for experienced practitioners. Which one is right for you?

  • Aluminum or copper nails

    Light, silver aluminum or warm golden copper. Both deliver the full practice; the spacing sets the intensity.

  • Even Flower of Life pattern

    Nails are set in a hexagon pattern, every nail the same distance from its neighbours, so pressure stays even across the whole foot.

  • Ready to travel or gift

    Every board comes with a soft case, aroma sticks and a gift-ready box. Light enough to pack, from about 575 g.

  • Fast, free shipping

    Free to the US mainland, Canada, Japan and Europe. Delivered in 1–4 business days to the US, Canada, Germany and Japan.

  • 30-day returns

    Not the right spacing? Return it within 30 days of delivery. Refund policy

Sadhu Board FAQ

What is a Sadhu board?

A Sadhu board is a wooden board with evenly spaced metal nails that you stand on barefoot for a few minutes of standing meditation. It comes from the ascetic traditions of India. Read more

Which nail spacing should a beginner choose?

8 mm is the gentlest. 10 mm is our most popular choice and suits most people who start in socks. 12 mm is for experienced practitioners. How to choose

Does standing on nails hurt?

The first seconds are intense. If you keep breathing slowly, the sensation usually turns into warmth and tingling within 30–60 seconds. Sharp, unbearable pain means step off. What happens when you stand on nails

How long should I stand on a Sadhu board?

Start with 30 seconds to 1 minute and add 15–30 seconds a session. Most regular practitioners stand 2–5 minutes a day. Time guide

Copper or aluminum nails?

The spacing changes the sensation much more than the metal. Aluminum is lighter and keeps its silver color; copper has a warm golden look and develops a patina. Compare them

Where do you ship and how fast?

Is a Sadhu board safe?

For a healthy adult standing on a stable surface, yes. If you have diabetes, neuropathy, circulation problems, foot injuries or are pregnant, talk to your doctor first. A Sadhu board is a wellness product, not a medical device.
