Wrist Stretches :
It is important to warm up your wrists before engaging in most yoga poses; many require you to bear weight on your wrists. The following are some basic wrist stretches and warm-ups you can use to prevent injury and increase flexibility:
- Get down on your hands and knees; place your hands directly above your shoulders and your knees above your hips. Fold your hands under so that your palms face up and your fingers point toward your knees. Breathe in and rock your body forward slightly, moving gently. Breathe out and slowly move back. Repeat this motion at least four times.
- Stand tall and stretch out your right arm in front of you with your palm facing down. Relax your wrist, letting your fingers drop down. Use your left hand to grasp these fingers and gently pull them back toward your body.
- Press your hands against each other as if you were praying. Lower your hands gently until you feel a stretch. Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds, then release. Repeat
- Hold your elbows against your sides with each hand in a soft fist. Keeping your elbows against your sides, move your wrists in a figure eight motion. Continue this motion for 10 to 15 seconds, then rest and repeat.
