S1/EP#5: Hand and Wrist Care + 8 Techniques for Strength and Mobility

Home Practice with Halle: Yoga Tools for Every Body

Whether you think about them often or not, your hands are probably a huge part of your daily life. They perform skills you need for survival, for employment, or for hobby. Sometimes, through inactivity or repetitive motion, hands and wrists suffer from common complaint like joint stiffness or carpal tunnel syndrome. Particularly in weight-bearing postures in yoga, the untrained hands and wrists might take the strain. In this episode, explore the anatomy of the hand as you examine and move your own. Practice and incorporate several simple hand and wrist exercises for mobility including circular movements with loose fists and tapping the thumb along each finger pad, and build strength in the top and the bottom of the forearm through weight shifting and awareness exercises in the posture table top. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/home-practice-with-halle/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/home-practice-with-halle/support
