Beginner’s mistake for wrists in yoga.

Most beginners have the tendency to put the weight on the outer side of the palms while at the same time leaving the index fingers and thumbs inactive, not pressing. Try to locate the weight and activate these two inner fingers.

My Personal Experience.

At first, yoga was a dull pain source in my wrists, especially after postures like plank and downward-facing dog. I realized that I was putting too much weight on my palms and not engaging my fingers and forearms. Over time I got the hang of the method of spreading my fingers wider and pressing all the points of my hand equally. The pain went away slowly as my wrists became stronger and more flexible. Currently, those same postures are performed in a lighter and more stable manner.

“Most wrist pain in yoga comes from misalignment and not engaging the muscles,” says Dr. Meera. “When the palm is not firmly planted, the pressure is directed to a small joint area. Strengthening the forearm regularly and stretching the wrist flexors will help prevent this. Besides, it is very important to warm up the wrists before doing any hand-supported asana.”

Expert Interview – With Yoga Instructor Riya Sen.

Q: What causes wrist pain of many yoga practitioners at the start?

Riya: “Our hands are used for fine tasks like typing all day long, but not for weight-bearing. Therefore, when yoga asks the wrists to suddenly support body weight, they do not respond well.”

Q: How can someone build wrist strength without risking safety?

Riya: “Wrist rotations should be done gently and one should also do table pose along with plank variations gradually. A person can use yoga blocks or mat rolls for comfort until he/she becomes stable.”

Q: Is there a simple posture correction tip?

Riya: “The fingertips, especially the index and thumb base, should be pressed evenly. Think that you are lifting your palm a little, like creating a mini dome and that is the way you distribute pressure evenly.”
