Yoga For Hands, Fingers, Wrists | 11-Minute Yoga Quickie

[@yogawithadriene]

Happy February, my friends! Today's short session is perfect for a little check in to transform your mood/energy! 11 minutes for CARE. Are you taking some time to care for YOU?

[@angelaholwell741]

[@robynparton9516]

Finishing Dedicate was the conclusion of 90 days of yoga for me. This was perfect for all the awakening in my arms, wrists, and hands! Thank you. ♥️

[@Central_Purr]

I suffer from Carpal tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists and its not something with much of a 'cure', I wouldn't consider surgery so tend to just live with it, this session has truly helped me, it seems to be the only thing that brings pain relief, don't get me wrong, when I'm in alot of pain with my wrists, everything hurts including Yoga, but this session is worth the slight discomfort because it works wonders, Thank you so much Adrian, you're my hero♡

[@nicketaylor9344]

Wow... this is powerful 😮 & was very much needed. Thank you.

[@greatgodneel]

Hi, have you continued? Have they gotten better over time because of this yoga?

[@Central_Purr]

Yes!!😁 I can honestly say that I've not had ANY major wrist pain since finding this video, my wrists and hands get achey from time to time but then I just sit and do this exercise and its brilliant for releasing any aches and pains I may get, this practice has helped me more than pain medication and wrist support bands.. and this is free😅 THANK YOU ADRIAN🥰

[@heathersha]

​@@Central_PurrHow wonderful! 🎉❤🙏🏽

[@IriqueSafeHands]

I wonder if you have ever tried strengthening you opposing muscles? So, for example of the muscles on the back of your hand are stronger then it seems like it would reduced the amount of inflammation in the sheaths. Seemed like that was the main theme of the physical therapy I've had over the years along with the magnificent stretching exercises in this video. I'm genuinely curious because I'm starting to do exercises to strengthen opposing muscles and want to incorporate them into my yardwork that I do too

[@madelinegrassdoss9329]

I'm an upright bassist, and I actually had an experience with tendonitis in the wrist last Spring. Musicians, especially string players, are always looking for movements to relax/soothe our wrists and fingers. All these movements were FULL of sensation and very opening, especially the last one. I'll be continuing to practice them!

[@majidehsani6228]

Madeline Grass Doss hey I’m guitar player and just realized I have tendonitis , hope this work well

[@sarah19piano]

I am a pianist and have tendonitis in my thumb (not from playing piano). I agree that these exercises are “opening” and I will do them regularly. Thank you Adriene!

[@JohnMoseley]

I'm a purely amateur guitarist, but was starting to get a sore thumb joint on my left hand from pressing it on the back of the guitar neck. I'm probably doing it wrong and need to figure that out, but in the meantime Adriene's exercises here hugely relieved the pain.

I did yesterday‘s practice with today‘s practice, since there were so many Earthquakes here in Iceland yesterday - I couldn‘t find a safe place for my yoga mat. Instead, I used the breath for my practice yesterday; Inhale lots of love in, exhale lots of love out. It was nice to take the two short sessions today. Sending lots of love to all of you. Namaste ❤️🙏

Hello Breath to Bridgers and YWA community! We have almost made it another month! How did today's practice feel? Surprisingly, this may have been the first time I have done this particular video and without a mat! Felt good to give the hands and wrists some extra attention and love. I swear Adriene said we would be headed to all fours. It made me wonder given the the title. We didn't though. Have a great day and evening. Bridge day 25! Day 144 in a row.

Anyone else struggling with just sitting up straight (like in this video) for a long time? I've been working on my core a lot but 'the simple' things seem to be the most difficult sometimes..

[@ForeverYogawithSusannah]

I hear you! Try sitting on a cushion, blanket or block! Also try switching positions mid way, to sitting on your knees (on a block) for a bit.

[@purplecarrot8982]

I did I ended up using wall support

[@emanuelgoffe839]

Try doing deadlifts/ pull ups to work your back strength

[@soniaaaa3811]

Yes! I was keeping my posture straight and then my back muscles where starting to ache a lot!

[@Harlequin52]

It may be the way you're sitting for your anatomy. Im very short and my calf muscles are generally larger than most of my female counter-parts. Therefore, I cannot sit standard "Yoga" poses comfortably, because the muscles of my calves and feet placement actually cause me to lean back a little and puts strain on my lower back. Its anatomically impossible. What I found works for me is if I fold my left leg underneath me (so it has complete contact with the floor) and then fold my right leg over and on top of my left (so it has complete contact with the left leg and isnt touching the floor at all) then I find I can sit up straight and comfortable, without leaning from one side to the other to leaning back.

[@evelynhoey4836]

Adriene, thanks so much for your generous sharing of these videos. I'm 70 years old and new to yoga. One of my daughters sent me the 30 yoga at the beginning of this year and I have kept at it, thanks to your kind and patient tutelage.

[@letabell762]

Thank you for designing your quickie series. I am caregiver for a 91 year old lady, who up to the last couple of months has pretty much despised exercising. She would do them. but only because she knows that they are good for her. Yet would still quite often she that she doubted that they WERE doing her any good. Since finding your program she has actually started getting up earlier to make sure we have time for them. She is also able to shampoo her own hair almost over her complete head now as before she was only able to get the right side of her bangs. we are both sooo excited thank you.

[@patrickkeehan9560]

Hey Adriene, I was wondering if you could do a mini yoga series aimed at fixing knee, hip, ankle alignment. I love doing yoga, but it can be hard at times since my joints don't align as they should. A series like this would not only help a lot of people perform the poses better, but also increase their self-confidence/body image! Keep up the good work!

[@SaraAnderson]

I would love this! I'm recovering from a long term knee injury and I have to be really careful about my joints and alignment.

[@linaya500]

I would love this as well! All the females in my family suffer from hip pain due to having one leg that's slightly shorter, and this would help my yoga practice so much. I dislike when we have to walk up to the top of the mat as I am no where near a point I can do that yet.

[@melanieh2279]

I have patellofemoral syndrome (affects my knees, thighs, and hips). I get a lot of pain and need to strengthen my muscles and practice alignment so my kneecaps and hips and everything can be trained to stay aligned. This would totally be great because sometimes they can really hurt for a few days after doing warrior and lunge type poses.

[@virtualvoyage6183]

I m too struggling with my left knee. I don't kinda find proper balance like my right leg while doing warriors and lunges. Glad if Adrienne makes a video for this.

[@vilchen4492]

I’m a flutist with the bad habit of clenching my hands too hard when I play. I’ve been doing much longer practice sessions lately because I’m so stressed about my performances, and my wrists and fingers have been achy lately because of it. This session really helped! I feel so much better already, so I’ll definitely use this one from now on. 💜💜💜

[@williamb7275]

One benefit of being forced off the calendar most days to rest areas with discomfort has been an increased sense of finding what the body (and mind) needs on a particular day. Partly intuitive and partly through increased awareness, this has actually strengthened my practice and although I am still following along with videos, I am choosing each day now what type of sequence I will do. 613 days in a row.

[@JoanneKatzman]

Bridge Day 25: In the past I wouldn't have been interested in a session focused on hands, but a few months ago I developed a condition called trigger thumb, which led to an inability to bend my thumb. It has been treated and has mostly been resolved. Anyway, I now no longer take my fingers for granted. I think it is human nature to not really appreciate the complexity of our bodies until something goes wrong. Adriene, thank you for guiding us in giving love to these precious joints! We use them in so many ways throughout the day and they deserve some love and care!

I did some experimental classes in some places because I don't have the money to pay for a nice place and then I managed to buy a mat and started doing by myself and when I realized, I was doing every day. I didn't stop one day since I began. Of course I was trying to do the hard poses and force my body and I wasn't enjoying that much, but then I found you and you became my best friend. I looking foward to the day to our meetings. It's nice to have a woman friend that talks to you in a nice way e cares about you.

the most challenging practices for me at these monthly calendars are the shorter ones, those which are only 5-15 min long. they are ''easy'' to do and the temptation to miss them is one of the strongest. this month i am doing them all without missing a single one, can you imagine? and i am so proud of myself. when i do an 50 min practice i feel okay, but when it's only a 5 or 11 min and i feel like a winner. maybe it's cuz i am! as Adriene always says, a little goes a long way.

I am a knitter, and developing a trigger finger on my right hand. This felt wonderful, and no “hitching” in that finger after this good workout. Thanks!

[@sunnydays9033]

Adrienne, I've been following your yoga vids for a while now, and I just want to say thank you so much for donating your time and energy to the world. You bring so much light and good energy to the world, you gorgeous goddess. Thank you!

[@raquel_sofia512]

great for sign language interpreters :)!

[@yogawithadriene]

Yes!!

[@knodelr]

Agreed!! Had a very heavy interpreting week this week and this was the perfect remedy!!

[@TofuMan333]

Never did a hands-fingers-wrists yoga session before. That was refreshing. Thank you, Adriene.

[@shadanzahrooni8416]

Oh my! Just what i needed after three hours of non-stop writing to finish a certain science course. Reading our minds as beautifully as ever Adriene. Thanks for the relieving practice and what you do. Much love. Namaste.

[@yogawithadriene]

Namaste, Shadan!

[@geodog6854]

Thanks, Adriene! After a long day of work, chores, and cooking, this hit the spot. 🙂

[@kavya0102]

Added in a nice massage to the palms at the end. This felt heavenly at the end of a long day at the computer!

[@sandrajenkins2302]

I started doing your hand yoga a week ago because I was trying to start a beginning yoga for seniors ad my arthritis and carpal tunnel made it difficult to complete some of the positions. After I started your session, I have done it religiously, every day! Ive had more pain relief in my hands than from any medication I've ever taken. I am also able to do a downward dog with my hands in the appropriate positions. I'm spreading the word about the benefits of yoga for your hands and wrists! Thank you so much. Sandra Jenkins, 67 years young!

[@mariamperishvili6853]

Did this after day 22 of dedicate, which was hard on my wrists. This was way more challenging than I expected and made me realize I need to take care of my back. Thank you ^^

[@arthurg7894]

Breath to Bridge, what a life-changing start to this year ❤

[@sdvlajb]

Did this after a full day of teaching guitar and piano lessons. Super helpful. Thank you!

[@jjtheflerkin6016]

Thank you so much for this practice, Adriene! I’m a massage therapist and I put some serious strain on my hands and wrists nearly everyday. I will be coming back to this one in particular very regularly. Thank you!!!!!

[@ashby7m]

bridge 2021. lovely video. surprisingly difficult.

[@devonhines1119]

I do this practice maybe three-five times a week! I’m a barista and have developed a repetitive strain injury and nerve damage because of it. In addition to my regular physical therapy exercises, this routine is so helpful! Thank you Adriene!

[@asieg001]

This practice felt so good for my 'mom wrist'. Nothing like picking up your baby all day! I will continue to do this regularly!

[@ilasachs4616]

I love this practice! After breaking my wrists and working as a Sign Language Interpreter, this has become one of my go-to practices to keep my hands/fingers/wrists healthy! Thank you Adriene!

[@allisonchia764]

My 3 days pain wirst gone just in 10 minutes. Big Thanks to Adriene 🤗🤗🤗

[@erinwhitney1707]

These targeted area short yoga sessions are perfect for me right now! I am recovering from cancer and a hospital stay earlier this year that caused me to lose a lot of muscle. I'm slowly building things up again with walks and yoga sessions :) I also experience neuropathy in my hands and feel and these are really helpful for that. (PS, if you ever wanted to do a cancer yoga or anything like that, I'd love it!)

[@lexicaljewel]

this was perfect but i was very confused when you said “before we come onto all fours” because we clearly didn’t do that! and i’m glad because i was doing it in bed. 😂

[@hannahblack6645]

SAME LOL!! 😂 perfect practice to do in bed!

[@Melissa-hc9gs]

Right there with you guys! ;) Namaste!

[@Loracanne]

Same! Hahahaha...good to see I wasn't the only one. I was like 'well I'll just have to leave those last 3 minutes out so...' :D

[@barboraurminska7370]

same here, haha :D

[@MsEvouli]

Me too😊

[@carenenaomi3381]

Love you too, Adriene. You are such a gem. Thank God I found your channel during this pandemic. This is the longest streak I've ever been in a work out channel.

[@meghanm05]

I don't usually go for the quick targeted practices, but my wrists and arms are extra sore this week and this felt awesome....especially before getting out of bed 😊 thank you for the stretches!

[@skilani5933]

Sunday is my favorite day of the week now ❤️😍

[@charlottecwikowski7876]

Wow, it’s like you somehow knew I was just in a two hour Zoom meeting where I was the note taker. Goodness did my wrists need that!! 🙏🏻

[@dragonsmist21]

Hello, I have to say this video was absolutely the best yoga for anyone that works with their hands!! I have been replacing windshields for fifthteen years and hand fatigue is a major side affect of the job and after three quarters of the video my arms were jello which was amazing!! My grip and the range of motion in my fingers feel like I'm 15 years old again I would give a million stars if I could.

[@tmntsamurai8488]

A little goes a long way. It was nice to give the arms, wrists, and fingers some love. A chance to tap into the breath. Hope all is well. Bridge day 25. Namaste 🙏

[@sarakennelty4914]

Go Bridge! Had my first appointment in the beauty shop in 13 months! Felt really good. So a short little video was perfect to squeeze in at the end of the day. Looking forward to the longer one tomorrow.

[@tobrsun]

Awesome yoga exercise for musicians!, thank you so much for sharing!💜
