3 easy ways to care for your wrists in yoga

When I asked beginner yogis what their biggest obstacle to learning yoga was, a lot of people responded with trouble with their wrists. Today I am going to share with you three ways to care for your wrists in yoga. 

warm them up

Before doing a pose where your wrists are in a flexed position such as plank pose or even cat pose. Take a few moments to warm your wrists up. 

(Make a fist and circle your wrists in both directions) 

stretch them

After you do a yoga pose where your wrists are in a flexed position such as plank pose or even cat pose take a moment to stretch them. 

(Flex the wrist and stretch it with your opposite palm) 


rest them

Take time after yoga poses where your wrists are in a flexed position such as plank poses or even cat pose to take a counter pose and rest. 

(child’s pose with your hands down by your feet). 

I highly recommend the following value added classes from our membership site for your wrists as well.
