We use our arms and wrists every day to perform various repetitive actions, like lifting, carrying, typing, etc. These simple, targeted stretches help minimize and prevent stiffness and discomfort.
Practice Guidelines
Before starting your yoga asana practice, please read the Practice Guidelines for helpful tips.
Practice at your desk
You can practice Wrist Exercises and Flapping Wings while sitting at your desk. Doing these during your work break can help prevent the build-up of tension.
Daily self-massage with lavender oil
Before practicing Yoga Relaxation/Abdominal Breathing, release tension by gently massaging a few drops of our Lavender + Jojoba Oil Blend onto your temples, wrists, back of the neck, and soles of your feet.
When we walk, our arms should swing freely by our sides. The more freely our arms move, the easier it is to maintain balance and coordination throughout the spine and pelvis. But when our arms and shoulders are tight, our posture, gait, and balance can be affected. The practices in this prescription will help you increase flexibility in the arms, wrists, and shoulders, allowing you to move with more grace and ease.
Chair yoga session
While at work, try some of the poses from Sit & Stretch Arms & Wrists to improve circulation and re-energize. Many of the poses can be done standing too, so get up if you can, to revitalize your legs as well.
Stretching makes muscles and joints more supple, while strengthening brings structural support and greater mobility. This helps reduce tension and prevents injury, allowing you to move with confidence. Dive into these practices to develop strong, flexible wrists and arms.
