30 Days of Yoga with Erin Motz - Day 12

Today I did Day 12 of Erin Motz's yoga challenge.  The focus of today's challenge is to stretch and release tension in the hands and wrists.  This looks like a simple sequence with absolutely no challenge until you do it yourself.

The most important part of this workout is to be gentle on your wrists and joints.  Don't pull too hard on your fingers, don't put your whole body weight on your wrists, and don't cause your body any sudden jarring movements.  It is also important not to get frustrated if you find that you are a bit tight in your wrists and forearms and your body isn't allowing you to get fully into certain postures.  Get into a posture until you feel a little pull, and hold it there.  That pull means you are stretching and you are working into those muscles - feel proud of yourself for this.


During this practice, keep mindful of how your hands and wrists feel and be thankful for all the tasks that your hands allow you to do every day.
