  • This short session is the perfect moment to check-in and care for yourself! Today we focus on targeted areas that get stressed through everyday activity to combat carpal tunnel and weak wrists. This therapeutic sequence will reduce inflammation, increase range of motion in wrists, and improve flexibility in the small muscles of the hands, fingers, and forearms.
    Bookmark this practice and repeat to release built-up stress in these targeted areas. Preventative care is the best care!
    Let me know how it goes in the comment section down below!
    Namaste.

      It may be the way you're sitting for your anatomy. Im very short and my calf muscles are generally larger than most of my female counter-parts. Therefore, I cannot sit standard "Yoga" poses comfortably, because the muscles of my calves and feet placement actually cause me to lean back a little and puts strain on my lower back. Its anatomically impossible. What I found works for me is if I fold my left leg underneath me (so it has complete contact with the floor) and then fold my right leg over and on top of my left (so it has complete contact with the left leg and isnt touching the floor at all) then I find I can sit up straight and comfortable, without leaning from one side to the other to leaning back.

    I suffer from Carpal tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists and its not something with much of a 'cure', I wouldn't consider surgery so tend to just live with it, this session has truly helped me, it seems to be the only thing that brings pain relief, don't get me wrong, when I'm in alot of pain with my wrists, everything hurts including Yoga, but this session is worth the slight discomfort because it works wonders, Thank you so much Adrian, you're my hero♡

    I'm an upright bassist, and I actually had an experience with tendonitis in the wrist last Spring. Musicians, especially string players, are always looking for movements to relax/soothe our wrists and fingers. All these movements were FULL of sensation and very opening, especially the last one. I'll be continuing to practice them!

    Surprisingly, this may have been the first time I have done this particular video and without a mat! Felt good to give the hands and wrists some extra attention and love. I swear Adriene said we would be headed to all fours. It made me wonder given the the title. We didn't though.

I love doing yoga, but it can be hard at times since my joints don't align as they should.

    Bridge Day 25: In the past I wouldn't have been interested in a session focused on hands, but a few months ago I developed a condition called trigger thumb, which led to an inability to bend my thumb. It has been treated and has mostly been resolved. Anyway, I now no longer take my fingers for granted. I think it is human nature to not really appreciate the complexity of our bodies until something goes wrong. Adriene, thank you for guiding us in giving love to these precious joints! We use them in so many ways throughout the day and they deserve some love and care!

But I still wanted to say hi because I will be following along this playlist along with the rest of our Bridge Community! Have a good day everyone.

    Pulling the fingers like that reminded me of milking a cow and I had to keep from giggling too much. This is a great practice. I'm an apprentice electrician and some days I can hardly do anything after work because my hands are so sore and tired, really glad to have this available for those days.

    the most challenging practices for me at these monthly calendars are the shorter ones, those which are only 5-15 min long. they are ''easy'' to do and the temptation to miss them is one of the strongest.
    this month i am doing them all without missing a single one, can you imagine? and i am so proud of myself. when i do an 50 min practice i feel okay, but when it's only a 5 or 11 min and i feel like a winner. maybe it's cuz i am! as Adriene always says, a little goes a long way.

    Adriene, I'm 22 years old and started doing yoga since the beginning of january. I did some experimental classes in some places because I don't have the money to pay for a nice place and then I managed to buy a mat and started doing by myself and when I realized, I was doing every day. I didn't stop one day since I began. Of course I was trying to do the hard poses and force my body and I wasn't enjoying that much, but then I found you and you became my best friend. I looking foward to the day to our meetings. It's nice to have a woman friend that talks to you in a nice way e cares about you. I'm sure we can say to you that we love you too, because you care about us caring about ourselves. I'm more aware of my self love! Namaste, lots of love from Brazil.

    THANK YOU for this practice! I was complaining to my husband that my fingers, wrists, and hands felt strange/inflamed/painful! And this morning, like an answer to my prayers... hands, fingers, wrists yoga! I am an equine veterinarian, so I use my hands all day every day and they can take a beating! I am at our clinic this morning working on a very sick foal and while we were waiting for him to wake up from his anesthesia, I was able to sit at my desk and take a moment for myself and my hands! Thank you for what you do Adriene! You are so appreciated!
