Focus

Yoga for wrists. You won’t need to have wrist difficulties to benefit from this wrist opening sequence. Viewing asanas from the perspective of a singular body region can help to shed new light on familiar poses and open previously unseen possibilities. The first section of this class focuses on improving general wrist mobility. It includes poses that explore the full range of wrist movement. The next section of the class looks at improving the strength of your wrists. Weight bearing poses like adho mukha vrksasana (handstand) and vasisthasana are included. The final section of the class troubleshoots poses that are commonly difficult for people practicing with wrist stiffness or difficulties. Poses such as urdvha mukha svanasana and purvottanasana are included with modifications to help reduce wrist strain.
