WRISTS & YOGA
When students first start practicing yoga, particularly vinyasa-style classes with lots of downward facing dog postures, many end up with sore wrists. In yoga, there are two type of soreness: the good kind, and the injury kind. The good kind of soreness means that you stretched your connective tissues and are feeling some discomfort as your body heals and adjusts to accommodate your new flexibility request. The bad kind is when you jam or cram your body into a position that actually causes long-term tissue, bone, or joint damage.

AVOID INJURY
With your wrists, you want to start off very very slowly. If you’re feeling pain in downward facing dog posture throughout class, you want to take a break from this posture. Substitute child’s pose in place of downward dog, but do practice the stretching exercises shown here at least one time per day to keep your wrists mobile and loose.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
You can strengthen your writs very quickly, leaving them much stronger and pain free than before usually in 4-6 weeks. Don’t be in a hurry though, and really pay attention to what your body is telling you. NEVER use pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs as it’ll make it very easy to push too hard.
