This video has helped me tremendously! I was wearing a heavy duty wrist brace at work, in addition to taping both wrists and wearing a lighter duty wrist brace on my left wrist. After two weeks practice with your video, I no longer need the heavy duty brace or to tape the wrists!! (I do still use a light wrap on both wrists for general support, but 99% of the pain I was feeling has disappeared)! Thank you so very much...Amazing 🤩

[@ianwilkinson6131]

This is the best video for yoga for carpal tunnel I can find.

[@lotusblossomspa1850]

Thank you .really good

[@Chronopod]

I love this video so much! It's so helpful, and your advice about relaxing my shoulder. It's like you're reading my mind better than I can. You rock!!!

[@marinalodeiro200]

Thanks a lot for this video, it will help me very much!! ✨✨✨

[@aycanur9425]

If you're here looking through the comments and try to see if this is really going to help, it does. My wrists were super weak that I couldn't do the last two poses even with easy versions. Now I can complete the video and I don't feel pain during my normal yoga practice. Thanks Kassandra!

[@JayFrii420]

I was in the same spot as you a few months ago. I used this video to recover from a wrist injury from playing guitar. I still do the upside down hand finger stretch as a warm up before I start playing.

[@ecdobleman]

I'm a tattoo artist and this video has definitely helped save my wrists at the end of a long day, I shared it with some of my coworkers too and they say it's done wonders for them as well. Thank you!

[@ustuna.567]

I enjoy playing video games and this video is working great for me as well. Thx Kassandra!

[@jakubjanicek8878]

Guys, this is the best stretching video for the carpal tunnel syndrome I've come across. Been following the stretches for two weeks and starting to notice major improvement in the way my hands feel. Even if you don't feel immediate relief, keep going every day and sooner or later, you'll notice improvement as well. Before I started doing this routine, my pinky fingers as well as wrists were a complete mess. That was a particular discomfort considering the fact that I work on the computer every day. Now these areas are getting stronger every day, and forearms as well. It would be great to also have a tutorial for stretching shoulders - when the tension from working at a desk manifests there as well.

[@RebeccaC-s1w]

I have been suffering with wrist and thumb pain for many months. Once I started doing this yoga video daily, my wrist pain has been 98% relieved. It has been absolutely wonderful.

[@cattheminion]

I have been waking up with knives in my hands, feeling like my bones are being ripped out through my elbows, and after about a week of doing this video multiple times, I was able to turn my hands all the way backwards. It was impossible and excruciating the first time I tried even halfway. :,) My hands are so much better. I can't believe it.

[@yogawithkassandra]

wow!! That's amazing! I'm so happy you've found relief :)

[@amethystbickham4993]

I’m a massage therapist and do the exercises in this video every day to maintain my wrists and hands. It gives me the stamina I need to keep working and has become an absolute game changer necessity. If you do them every day they really do work

[@yogawithkassandra]

Do you have sore wrists or suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome? With all the typing, texting and yoga we do tightness can really accumulate! Here are some simple stretches you can do anytime :) Enjoy and please remember to subscribe!

[@carolwing9658]

Carpal tunnel symptoms have got a lot worse recently, i have only just started these stretches and already the wrist feels better with less pain in middle and ring fingers. Thank you

[@vrao5862]

Thank you so much! I do this sequence every day and it helps me a lot!

[@rosareda2413]

I have been suffering for years with carpal tunnel...I just started doing Kassandras exercises. I love it and already experiencing relief! Thank you

[@karenlynne8123]

I couldn't even brush my hair this morning without using my left hand.... and after doing this sequence, it was possible. Thank you!

[@paulmartinetti]

I've been doing these exercices with Kassandra for years and they have helped me enormously in the sport of armwrestling at the global level

[@jtokidjb]

Paul has strong wrists!

[@benjamintchang3923]

nice yo

[@mairavp]

I am back here every week!!! Thank you!!!

[@Chronopod]

I do like this class very much! I like your reminders (for example, "relax the shoulders"), like you know that I'm tensing them. I also like the breathing reminders, and I think you have a great way of explaining, and giving imagery to the instructions :) thank you!

[@lindasoucy4808]

Her reminders are just like my yoga instructor does..and my instructor has trained with the best for years including going to China twice. I attend class, virtual right now due to COVID, but having the specific yoga stretches for wrists will be a Godsend I'm sure!

[@mairavp]

Thank you, Kassandra!

[@tatuajado]

Thank you!!! I am a tattoo artist and have been so fearful of overextending my fingers and thumbs during hours-long sessions of drawing, poking and stretching skin. this made my entire hand and forearm immediately feel so much better. i really appreciate you sharing this!

[@miyakasuzuki]

My husband and I started your 30days yoga challenge during our quarantine last year, and it became our daily routine ever since. I’m a violinist, so these kind of stretch helps my pain in my wrists, neck, and shoulder! Thank you!!

[@chapplepeach29]

Kassandra! 😂 It kills me every time you say "so my wrists are pretty good" so confidently. It used to really get to me because of my physical inabilities, but now that I've followed you for nearly 4 years, whenever I go back to this video it makes me laugh out loud. Love you!!!

[@KenyaAguilar99]

my grandma had arthritis, my mom and sister have carpal tunnel. i’m experiencing the symptoms so i really appreciate this video. my intention is to do this twice a day bc i know i can naturally cure my body. thank you 💜

[@NZghostchips]

How are you today

[@christinerowlanddeburca4399]

This just cleared up a palm cramp that was so bad i was in tears! Thank you so much Kassandra, every time I do a new video of yours the feeling is indescribable

[@gloriacooper514]

I have been doing these exercises for over two weeks and have found a vast improvement . Thank you

[@alexalopezxoxo]

Love love love thank you! I was in so much pain and it really helped!

[@CNich90]

First wrist video that was actually beneficial! (And I’ve watched several over the last year) Thank you for putting this together.

[@mairavp]

I come back to this video every week!

[@eyeseegr8beauty978]

Anybody still here? The computer mouse at work use has been hurting my fingers. This video helped a lot. I'll need to come back soon. Thank you Kassandra.

[@quattourtempora6219]

Hi Kassandra! I have had 2 operations to correct carpal tunnel as in both wrists recently and last op was 4 weeks ago. Although my wrists are now weaker and I do get a bit of numbness at night I am not in so much pain. I tried the hand wrist exercises in the video and immediately felt a reduction in tightness. I found the exercises and video motivational and confidence building and it helps that you have had symptoms of carpal tunnel. I work as a Gardener and my job is very physically demanding (how symptoms developed), but I plan to do these exercises 1 - 2 times a day. Thank you very much for your video, it will be so helpful!

[@dinkaDPB]

you work as a gardener for money but its causing injuries that cost you monsy. Work it out....

[@lucywho26]

Do you recommend surgery?

[@juliebatty4560]

I'm so grateful to find your classes, Kassandra. You have such a wealth of different focuses, easily searchable and always a pleasure to take part in. Thank you so much. x

[@BleachBrightNJ]

I’m a dental assistant, lately I have been having such pain in my hand,wrist,thumb. These exercises felt soooo good! Thank you🙏

[@pabhhlo1]

It's fantastic! I suffer pain in the wrists but immediately after performing your stretching the pain is gone! Thank you very much :)

[@yogawithkassandra]

+Pablo Auquilla That's amazing! Hopefully it will help create lasting change :)

[@ShirleyThompson]

You are the best, Kassandra. This is one of the most beneficial stretching routines anywhere for hands and wrists! Thank you so much for all that you do.

[@rebeccaherman4971]

Thanks!

[@myra0841]

I love this video! I've worked in an office setting for years, as well as a very hands-on setting as a special Ed teacher. I still work part time in special Ed and do some light weight training, and I'm quite prone to both wrist and elbow problems. All of those activities are hard on my wrists. I've got some tendinitis happening in my right elbow, and this video really helps my wrists and even my elbow a little bit. I've injured and then re-injured my wrist twice in the last 2 years (becoming more of a carpal tunnel issue now) and this video helped me recover very quickly every time. Now I still use it to try to stay ahead of any more injuries. We all know we're doing fine motor activities all day one way or another, so really I think everyone would benefit from this video. I "nag" my husband to do it now and then too. Thank you so much!

[@poweredbyjoy9682]

This is the best wrist and finger exercises I have tried. Thank you!

[@maryfeeley8600]

I went off a tobogganing jump about 13 years a go and landed on my wrist causing the bone to crack. My wrist never healed properly and to this day it continues to give me trouble and frequently goes out of joint. Your yoga for wrists video has been my saving grace and is the only thing that seems to help! Thank you so much I've been loving the stretches :)

[@NancyTroskeGoldsmithStudio]

I work with my hands all day, I'm a jewelry artist, these stretches have been a life saver for me! Thank you!

[@keep10fingersoff]

Ive been doing these stretches multiple times a day when my wrist and forearms have pain and become tight. Previously I suffered for months on end until the pain finally resolved only to be injured again. Doing these stretches have been a lifesaver! Thanks kassandra!!!!!!

[@VeeWiz-knowledgeoflife907]

As a Licensed Massage Therapist for 5 years I truly love you and appreciate you ! You’ve saved my hands / forearms so I can work in this field longer ! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@kawaiijp6638]

i realize how precious the wrists are until they're in pain.

[@dealerofgame]

agreed

[@kayaeki]

ikr, cant draw

[@greenbox5714]

yeahh

[@MHill-qc9ps]

Thanks!

[@knittingdoula]

This video was posted to a Facebook page for court reporters, and many are absolutely SWEARING by your video now. So glad I found it - I use my hands a ton, and hope this will help with the soreness. Thanks!!

[@yogawithkassandra]

knittingdoula That's so cool!! glad it's been helpful 😊

[@kybleta]

Dear Kassandra thank you so much! Could you please do more of the series for hands/wrists? I had problems with those for the past 2 years and found some exercises but yours were by far the best so far. Thank you very much, namaste, Lucia.

[@juliotoru]

thank you, I am a knife sharpener, old school, I use Japanese water stones. long story short; cold water and the repetitive motion are tough on my hands. I've done yoga for the other parts of my body but it hadn't occurred to me that there could be yoga that would address many hand issues. And there you are !! I've just got off my Sunday market and followed you AND MY HANDS FEEL SOOOOO MUCH BETTER, IMMEDIATELY !

[@christinelamb1167]

This was the absolute BEST stretching sequence I've ever experienced for hands and wrists! This is going immediately to my playlist, and I am going to do these stretches frequently. I work with my hands all day, and lately there have been some challenges at work which have been making my hands and wrists even more in need of tlc. Thank you so much for this, Kassandra! I have tried a lot of other stretching sequences for hands and wrists, but you presented some very unique stretches that I have never tried before, and they were great 😍. My hands feel revived now.

[@gabrielhuang8]

Thank you Kassandra, it is so nice of you to take time and provide a free yoga practice for us to follow. My hands did feel better and I will be doing these stretches during breaks at work to keep them in healthy shape, hopefully. Namaste you beautiful yogi

[@lindseyfrost6505]

Really does wonder for massage therapists. I've come back to this time and time again after a long week at work. It helps a lot. Thanks for all you do in this community!

[@ShineOn88]

Thank you so much Kassandra!!! This really helped me with some severe wrist pain I’ve been having as a massage therapist, jewelry artist, writer and painter and with practicing yoga more often. I use my hands often in all that I love to do. I’ve done this the past two days already and it’s making a major difference already. I feel such an improvement even halfway through and my pain is decreased significantly after the entire session. I skipped any pain medication and just went all natural healing using your video and self massage techniques. Thank you again! I look forward to following along more of your videos! You are awesome!!!!

[@mairavp]

Every week! Never miss it!

[@mairavp]

I love this class!

[@geraldinapell]

hiya, just discoverd your video, i'm an administrator/secretary and suffer badly with RSS - already loving the feel of this in my hands and arms thankyou

[@julieboo1447]

Been doing this for a month it really helped a lot with the pain I was having thank you thank you so much!!!

[@kennyjohnson8081]

How many of your students say, "I play piano?" And so it goes, I play bass guitar and piano. When the going gets tough, my right hand and arm break down. Brilliant, I "feel" the progress. Also, the balance and alignment in your body tells the truth. Your style is exceptional, thank you.

[@yogawithkassandra]

Thank you so much! There are definitely a lot of piano players that watch this video ;) haha but that's good! Glad it's helping people

[@kennyjohnson8081]

(A batting cage friend of mine with wrist discomfort now knows about your videos, game on.)

[@zidski]

I've been suffering from RSI in both my arms and wrist for the past year and after a week of your exercises, this has reduced my RSI issues. Many Thanks for your great videos :)

[@lenkaj.9891]

I swear this video is a life-saver! I have been practicing it regularly since summer, when I had problems with wrist & fingers cramps and now it´s all gone! You´re better than a doctor, thanks a lot, Kassandra! Much love to you and your channel!

[@kristinadaugherty295]

I am 30 and I have horrible carpal tunnel! I do this video (a long with a yoga video) every morning. It helps me get started for the day! My hands are so numb and painful in the morning and this helps so much! Thank you soooooo much for this!

[@walterrampersaud3630]

Hi Kassandra thanks for this video it helped me greatly with trigger finger and carpal tunnel

[@makendrasilverman211]

I couldn't put any pressure on my palm while doing another yoga class with Kassandra and then did this- wow, what a help! Adding this to my daily list of musts -- I am struggling with carpal tunnel in both wrists and tennis elbows adding to that. Thank you so much Kassandra!

[@vimaldeepkaur7334]

O. M. G. Thank you sooooo much for doing this video! I am a dentist and am constantly looking for hand, neck and back yoga videos. This hand stretch video is the best one I have come across on KZbin! My hands feel so much better. Will be doing this everyday. ❤️

[@MsBloo]

You yogi angel you! After this stretch the pain I had in my right hand lessened substantially! You are a saint, if you can please do more of these kinds of videos. Us IT people need it desperately

[@nbesy467]

Great for aerialists! In aerial fabrics our grip muscles get tight and sore. This is perfect.

[@yogawithkassandra]

+Nichole Besyk oooh yes! thanks for watching :)

[@nbesy467]

I also have a video request: Can you make a yin yoga backbending-preparation sequence? Wheel pose is challenging for me - I feel tightness in my shoulders, lower back, and tops of my thighs. A thorough stretch in all these areas would probably lead me to a much more graceful backbend at the end of the class. What do you think?

[@yogawithkassandra]

Nichole Besyk Absolutely! I'm going to have a 1hr class for backbends coming out very soon and will add your idea to the list as well :)

[@nbesy467]

Perfect! Thanks for all the wonderful videos.

[@knjiznicaospregrada1927]

Oldie, but goldie! I keep coming to this video from time to time, thank you! 💕

[@robopiper9462]

I've been doing physical therapy for 2 months and have been seeing slight improvement but to be honest I feel like this tutorial made such a huge difference for me! I really appreciate your help Kassandra ❤

[@pratiksha5072]

This is a really effective exercise. I injured my wrists doing a yoga video from another instructor, and over time my wrists and palms became tense. It didn't help that I write a lot and work on the computer. The pain was getting too much, so ofcourse I turned to Kassandra as always. Have done this video thrice so far, and my hands and wrists definitely feel better! Highly recommend this

[@Honeysuckle82]

I’m so grateful for this video. I’m a massage therapist who has been diagnosed with mild carpal tunnel and I don’t want to have the surgery so I am looking for alternative ways to get better. The finger stretching was really awesome as well as stretching the muscles on top of the forearm and the underside of the forearm. Thank you. I will continue to use your techniques.

[@gildalozano5077]

These wrist stretches really do help i feel them in the forearms and elbows. I do them at night before i sleep and i feel no pain in the hands as i use to. Thank you Kassandra.

[@amateur_psychologist]

I spend a lot of time on the computer, and have noticed carpal tunnel - like symptoms too. These streches really helped. Thank You, Kassandra! Looking forward to more videos on extremities....

[@AL-kh7pz]

I had an accident and glass severed my tendons and nerves in my 5th finger of the left hand, so surgery was performed on June 1st, and I really needed help with stretching those fingers (minus the pinky until able), but my Occupational Therapist (OT) would not provide these exercises, so I really want to thank you Kassandra for putting this online! I now have bone-on-bone at my thumb and the arthritis has been so unbearable they gave me an injection Tuesday, but I still have pain whenever moving those joints. My poor OT has had to splint his index finger from all the pressure of massaging my scar tissue in the finger because the scar tissue is out of control. We are working to get it removed without surgery, which looks like it will be needed, if we are not successful.

[@deysilovesicecream]

I have done this video everyday for a long time and it has helped me a lot! Thank you so much Kassandra ❤️

[@juliabarber9983]

Oh my gosh. I have had bad shoulder/wrist/arm pain since 2011~ from drawing under my desk at high school all the time and a couple years ago had to pretty much stop my art and so much other stuff it got so bad. No PT I went to could figure it out or anything like wrist braces, stretching, seeing doctors, and I just got finished with this for the first time (I’ve done many of your other videos and already you were the only yogi I ever came back to and could finish the video of). I’m rambling. Anyways my wrist feels so much stronger just from once thru this video I cannot wait to make this practice a daily addition to my life. You were meant to teach yoga, thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️🥹 you have truly changed my world and life experience.

[@amyreneesmith9261]

I have one wrist that is always super sore and sometimes puffs. These stretches made my wrists feel so AMAZING! Thank you so much for creating this!

That's awesome!! xx

[@beeblebomb]

girl thank you! I am a massage therapist and muay thai fighter and holy cow, my arms get used so much! I can feel how this is going to actively prevent injuries and issues for me. Thank you so much!

Worked like magic for my bad wrist flexion! Thanks a ton.

[@kelsms42]

My acupuncturist recommended your yoga classes to me, specifically the yin yoga and I must say, I absolutely love them. I do 30-50 minutes after work everyday now! This video was particularly helpful with my carpal tunnel. Thank you so much!

[@MichelleAlanna]

Loved the video. Been doing it for years and it really helps. I have shared it with so many people with hand and wrist pain too. Thank you for all you do! I really appreciate it and you!
