I don't have many issues with wrist pain at this stage, and the pace of this practice and the stillness for the first half or so was really frustrating to me at first even though logically I knew it was valuable. Then, when we did the first downward dog, my heels touched the earth for the first time ever!!!!!!! I was so thrilled, my mood literally changed instantly. Yoga is such a powerful tool in so many ways, and I'm so happy I stuck out this practice today which brought me to such a lovely moment of joy!!!
Love the advice from your mom to take a breath, and it is even more meaningful knowing what she has gone through recently. Wishing her (and you!) the best. Namaste.
This gave me a real “ah-ha!” moment, should be required viewing for any yoga beginners! Down dog felt 100x better after following this, gonna make a big difference in my 30 day challenge.
A refining practice today, so helpful to improve our game. Knuckles are a problem for me, as any senior yogi with arthritis hands will know, but the lovely stretches loosened up my wrists and hands beautifully. I added a quickie to wake up the body, 5-Minute Morning Yoga 🙏😊 and I am done. See you tomorrow on the mat Adriene 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
My wrist has been hurting for over a week. I've been doing hands-free yoga, because the pain was too much--and I was afraid I was really messing up my wrist. Did the first 15 minutes of this video last night. Today... no pain in my wrist. Magic? Not sure. But I sure am grateful. Thanks, Adriene!
Same here, I often struggle with wrist pain even before yoga and lately it was acting up. This definitely helped! I know what to do if this ever happens again. Thanks @Adriene
Get ready to "turn two knobs" everyone (13:35). Adriene's tone and facial expressions crack me up. I will have to revisit this and let the instructions sink in a bit more as well as laugh again. Process day 29. 298 days in a row.
hello friends! its been a while since ive left any fun comments on these videos, i wonder if it has anything to do with the sort of iffy month ive been having (sooooo different from my participative, super energetic, open minded month of june) although i haven’t skipped a practice, i don’t want to let it become something automatic just to tic of my list so here i am. If anyone’s reading this, do you also sometimes notice vibration/energy differences from one month to another? Its like everything last month just worked out and made sense and this month everyday has been a “oh shit whats gonna happen today” 🤣 either emotionally, work wise, relationship, family…. its been a ride! Im just thankful i have these practices and breath medicine to cling onto the only sense of self i trust. Anyways, wishing everyone a great weekend

Thanks for the pep talk- dealing with some nerve pain lately- wrist, fingers, sometimes at the shoulder. Definitely have at least one nerve irritated, so really watching my posture, etc., and being cautious with how I do my yoga.
Thanks for always reminding us of the „little ones“ and huge details at the same time, which make all the difference. Thanks for never letting us forget our real foundation. ❤️ Namaste. 🙏🏻
🤚Process Day 28✋ Spent some extra time on the wrist and forearm massage today, it just felt so good! During the practice my entire arm was on fire and I had to take multiple breaks, but after practice my wrists feels so “light” and “airy” for lack of better words. They just feel so stretched and zenned out! I Definitely enjoyed this practice and the information it contained! Sending love and light as always❤️💫 Namaste🙏
Aug 20, 2022 05:01 Intention : begin to strengthen my foundation This video allow me to practice some freestyle after knowing and applying my foundation while Adriene is explaining the fundamentals of the practice and I feel good to be able to practice what I already know with what I must have to learn. Thank you Adriene See you tomorrow beautiful souls Namaste 🙏🏼
Adriene, you are an angel. I have repetitive motion injury in my wrists from drumming and this video has been a savior of mine. As much as it may hurt at times in the video, by the end I feel warmed up and nearly pain free. Thanks for all you do.
I’ve been away from yoga for a couple years. I came to my favorite teacher and I couldn’t do any of anything that involved the wrists. So I watched this video to help because that was horrible! The pain was so bad! And I was able to get half way through this video! I’m kind of bummed but I’ll let that go and chose to be happy I got half way! Tomorrow I’ll get farther!
That was so much more than it looked. My hands hurt a bit from working on the computer. I might save this one to do more often because my thumbs really didn't want to straighten!
For Day 21 of CARE, this practice was quite a challenge for this arthritic yogi ! My hands and wrists are perhaps my most discomfort 🙁 but with all your therapeutic practices I tried my best because I know from experience they really do work for me. 😊 I had to be mindful and breathe through and take breaks but afterwards I feel a lovely looseness and no pain. I shall try to concentrate more on my hands in downward dog and put your advice into practice. It’s those little refinements that make all the difference 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💞
YWA August 2020 Oh wow. Needed this. Started to have issues last month through the July calendar. My forearms are sore now, but the class was much needed. See you all tomorrow!!
Nice! Good to revisit ... after 1yr!!! BEGIN to spark flow thru fingers hands arms Namaste to all practising and May all be free from pain and suffering - loving kindness
Thank you for these hands and wrists videos Adriene! I've been suffering from wrist pain lately and these past couple of days doing all your videos for hands and wrists i can already tell how much stronger my wrists have gotten and it is such a relief! Again thank you so much for sharing your time, practice and kindness! Much love! Namaste!
Hi Adriene! Yesterday I went to a session of Bikram Yoga to sweat a little bit. During the class, the teacher was nice but really bossy "do it this way, the arms, this way, blablabla, harder, you have to push, you have to pull..." I was in a very competitive spirit with my body and I... didn't like it at all!! I missed you, even if you are "just" my teacher on the videos, I prefered so much your way of thinking, your "Find what feels good". I was like "don't care, not coming back, I prefer Adriene". We are competitive enough the rest of the day to take the yoga practice for ourselves, right? A lot of kisses from France, Sweet Lady!
Same here. I'm from Spain, and I always do yoga with Adrienne, but once I went to a yoga class at a gym/wellness center in my town. During the first downward dog, since the muscles on the back of my legs were still cold and waking up, I started "pedalling it out" like Adrienne says. The instructor immediately told me to stop "no, don't do that, you must stay still, okay?". It threw me off so badly I never went back. I've stayed home with Adrienne ever since 😁
I was diagnosed with Parkinsons Young Onset 3 years ago and I love Yoga with Adriene. I am fairly active and currently still work since I am only 51 years old. I have learned so much about this disease but what I have noticed is there isnt a lot of choices for exercise programs for young onset as there is for seniors. Can Adriene create something along those lines? Some of the major symptoms is rigidity. I am currently doing 30 day yoga challenge. Thanks a million! By the way we were just watching TV and a commercial came on with different people exercising online and my daughter said "I just saw Adriene" (like she knew her ;)
I found it helpful to watch until about 14:20 as she provides instructions, and then proceed with the practices. Alternatively, one can follow along and go easy till then. Begin day 20. 685 days in a row.
"Yoga releases the creative potential of Life. The light that yoga sheds on life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things. It transforms the person who see." -B.K.S. Iyengar And you definitely helped me on that! Thank you Adriene! Namaste! x
I don't know if you read this Adrienne but I had to say : thank you from the bottom of my heart. I did this very thoroughly and i am crying the relief is so good
Begin day 20! Wow, I absolutely loved this practice although at first I thought I wouldn’t really like it… The format of the practice is different and I really enjoyed it! And I loooooved the forward fold, it made me realize how strong my feet are and how strong the grip of my feet is) Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💚💚💚
Gratitude gratitude SO MUCH gratitude. Amazing how physical pain is so connected with emotional pain (and vice versa), especially when it "interferes" with a self-care practice. BUT no, no interference. Love the way the universe works -- in this case to remind us to slooow down, modify, and trust that yoga has our back no matter what. Thanks, Adriene! Namaste :)
Thank you so much, Adriene. In this time of social distancing and coronavirus, I've relied heavily on the benefits that yoga bring my mind and body. When I started feeling wrist pain, I thought it would be the final thing that brought me to tears. This video helped with my awareness so much. I love all your videos, but finding this today felt like a real blessing.
holy moly just invest your precious 15 minutes to this video. at first i was like whatever, lets give it a shot with her but wow my hard rock wrist now became a newborn baby’s wrist! thanks so much angel adriene 💜 this video is way better than going to see a doctor!!!
I like these videos where I can improve my technique even more, but at the same time I get frustrated because it never feels right. Find whats feels good is my motto to feel good after these vídeos! I love them anyway
This video is unlocking my right wrist (with which I have a problem for a few months, for no apparent reason ...) while unlocking my emotions, my psychological barriers and my life! This simple video has a dramatic effect on my personal growth and I discovered it at exactly the right moment. Thank you so much Adrienne for your constant and inspired work.
After watching a video of Adriene's repeatedly, I begin to notice how many layers she has. Guidance, teaching about yoga concepts, & kinesiology, humor, speaking to and attending to practitioners at all different levels, all at once, just to name a few. Goddess bless. 🙏 ✨
Thank you Adriene. After carrying heavy suitcases around a few weekends ago, I realised I’d caused stress on my wrists, similar to carpel tunnel. I did your video yoga for wrists every night for a week- and not only did it help me sleep again, but I no longer have any pain from my wrists. Thank you!
I missed this practice yesterday but it was wonderful to do after the usual yoga ! It was a good reminder to use our hands and fingers properly in some poses!
Yoga is amazing. I've been writing quite a lot for past five years now, and my penmanship has gone worse and worse (I had a small stress facture in my thumb couple years ago and tenosyvitis runs in my family, yea!). I did this yoga two times this week, and my handwriting has become significantly better!
As a massage therapist this is my favourite video after a long week. I feel the tension unravel in my forearms and my hands open up and breathe deeply into all the joints. I often recommend your videos to clients who are looking for a kind and holistic yoga practise. Many thanks. Namaste.
I have been struggling for over two years, my wrist were really hurting a lot. I couldn't move them anymore, after this practice they felt completely normal again. AMAZING!
February CARE! I love this practice! I fractured my right wrist a decade ago and it's never been quite the same since. I never really had any idea that I could do anything to help it until now, so thank you!
As I have POTS I really dislike downward dog or any poses that put my head upside down. Would be really awesome to have some routines that mindfully avoid those poses. Thank you Adriene for bringing a smile to me each day, you rock!
Wow! This video is soooo counter-intuitive!!! My right wrist was painful and I wrote "no wrist pain" in the search engine of your channel. I started the video and I was grumbling at each moove "I said I had wrist pain, Adriene!" But I kept on because practicing with your videos for more than 5 years now had me trust in your knowledge of the body and in your wisdom. But still, I was grumbling and thinking "Look at this, I am going to have more pain after this practice! And the the first time I am finally going to write a comment to Adriene is going to be to complain!!! Damn!!!" And it ends up that my wrist feels far better now than before the practice!!!! THANK YOU ADRIENE!!! I have been thanking you so many times during the tons of practices I followed on your channel and even during my day time, when I remember to breathe and take one step at a time. I am glad to finally write it here. THANK YOUUUUUU SOOOOO MUCH! You're a human-angel, you help me work through my anxiety, my sadness, my once-big-inside-void and now through my wrist pain! I send you my loving energy and I hope life gives you back all the kindness and well-being you spread around! Thank you for being here and doing these videos with so much care! You're magical! Namaste.
It's amazing how this focus made my downward dog and plank feel so much more stable and strong - after so many years of practising yoga I think this was the first time I focussed so much on my hand to earth connection so thank you so much, Adriene and namaste to my fellow yogis xx
Adriene: if you're a human and you just did that then you should be feeling it in the muscles of your forearms now Me feeling it only in my wrist: am I a goat? *confused wrist screaming*
Adriene! Thank you for this video. I'm just finishing the 30 days of yoga, although it's taken me 62 days thanks to wrist pain from a recurring ganglion cyst. I'm determined not to have surgery, so am hoping this combined with your shorter yoga for wrists silent video will help me strengthen my joint and finally beat this leaking fluid once and for all!
Thanks again for saving me from $$ acupuncture and reflexology. Adriene has indeed yoga for everything. I fell in love with yoga home practice because of you 😘❤🙏
I had a wrist injury for nearly one week now and today i felt like i could try yoga for my hands and wrists again and after this video i felt no pain anymore.Thank you Adriene - i truly love all of your videos!!
Thank you so much! My hands have been killing me since I started learning to play piano, I do your yoga lessons every night and this is just what I needed! Thank you a thousand times over!
Day 6 of August 2020. I missed yesterday because of scheduling and commitments, and honestly usually that is what would stop me from continuing. The organization/planning lover in me LOVES following a calendar, but also gets easily discouraged when I cannot follow it exactly as planned (i.e., I have a hard time skipping a day and just continuing forward the next). I decided that I wasn't going to let that stop me from reaching my goal of 31 days of yoga this month. Instead, I decided to just move on with the next scheduled practice, even though it is a day late, and catch up when I can. Cheers to these YWA practices challenging me physically as well as mentally. Thank you Adriene! See you tomorrow!
I've known in the back of my mind that I haven't been using the hands effectively in weight-bearing poses over the short time I've been practicing with you, so it was a joy to find that you have a video for it. You really have a video for everything! My plank has never been so strong as it was when I was following along with you today. Thank you Adriene.
That was a challenge and my hands and arms were fatigued BUT now that it is over, they all feel revived. I guess it's like stretching other parts of the body. Thank you for a little wrist love!
Back to yoga after 2 years. My wrists are really shot, and I know it's from long computer use. this felt pretty hard and quite painful but now at the end I can tell it's helped. They aren't cracking upon rotation anymore. I'm going to do this every yoga session until they are stronger. Thank you so much.
wow. this for me is what yoga is all about. focusing on even a small part of the body can affect so much change throughout the rest of the body/mind. most of all, the breath and actions bring awareness to what's real
Thank you for posting this video. I am a flautist and have struggled left wrist pain off & on for a long time. This video was perfect to relax my wrist after an evening of flute practice. And it will help me feel more stable in table top & plank poses during my yoga practice. I must remember to come back to this sequence! Namaste
This is so helpful! Please consider doing a yoga for tight shoulders also! My left shoulder is super tight, so much that it even hurts in child's pose when I stretch my arms out. Would love your tips on how to stretch it out properly.
Okay I’m not usually a commenter, BUT. My right wrist has been super painful for over a week, I couldn’t practice at all because of the sharp shooting pain. I was going to book a doc appt to see if I’d seriously injured it, but I tried this video yesterday. Could barely do any of the exercises, it was so painful - so I figured that didn’t work. Then this morning I noticed that my wrist was less painful and tentatively I decided to try this video again. YOU GUYS. The difference! What is this sorcery, Adrienne? Thank you so much!!!
""finding the push and pull, the balance in these places where we internally rotate and then lift and externally rotate, thats the joy of yoga that's the dance." lol thats deep and so true ! keep it up =)
Morning! I often follow your online tutorials and this morning, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you! Whatever I need, I can find it on your channel. From specific exercises like here focusing on wrists (ouch!) to more general sequence like the morning sunrise sequence - a search brings up something useful, calming, restorative. It’s always a joy, life-giving, relaxing and useful experience. Content and style really just excellent. So, once again, huge thanks and please keep going!
Hola Adriene! I'm Valerie,I'm 53 years old and have achy wrists. This videio has been a total game changer for me!!!! Woop! Back in business! I adore you and your approach (my fellow Texan:) I am in favor of laughing my way through health and fitness, so I appreciate the fun! I tell so many folks about you and how you make it easy to follow without having to constantly look at the screen. Thanks for the energy output, love and light, Valerie
I have an ancient wrist injury that flares up occasionally during periods of stress or intense work at the keyboard. I know from experience that returning to this practice strengthens and soothes, helping my body restore itself to feeling balanced and healthy. Last night my wrist pain was so bad it interfered with my sleep. I woke up and ran to this video, I'm relived knowing that already I've found more space and ease in the wrist! Thank you thank you thank you Adriene for making these healing videos and continuing to share them with the world. What a gift! What a blessing!
Hi! i'm a massage therapist and a huge amount of my working day is spent strongly gripping and squeezing my hands into that closed shape you were talking about. I've been noticing pain start to build up even after just one massage but this little video has been absolutely glorious in helping stretch is out and bringing free movement back to my hands. Thank you so much! I will be doing this literally every day to help with my own hand health and to help ensure a long and happy career! xx
Thank you soosososoososooooooo much for this video! I'm a hairstylist & have been trying my hardest to find more intense stretching methods for hands/arms/wrists than what my work has already provided me. This was amazing, I can't wait to add this to my daily routine so my arms don't feel like they're going to fall off after every shift I work! You're the best! Thank you again! ❤️
+paperdr0ps Ah yes! Super important for you! glad it helped. Try this one a couple times to get it in your body. It's amazing how fast we return to old habits. The body has to relearn! xoox
paperdr0ps I can totally relate! I'm also a hairstylists so I've had my fair share of pains in my shoulders, wrists, elbows, you name it. Adriene is absolutely awesome!
Since I’ve been doing yoga with Adriene and Benji my response to stressful or upsetting situations has been to take a deep breath (rather than fly off the handle or break down or freak out) and it’s so helpful and - and this point - unconscious that I’m able to navigate stressful situations without them causing too much of an issue. So thank you! 🙏💕
Ahhh I'll feel this tomorrow! I have generally built up my wrist strength and hardly get any pain anymore but this still worked my hands and wrists like I was back at the start of my journey... In a good way. Back to basics. Back to strengthening those building blocks!
6 лет назад
Wow, this actually works! I skipped quite a few weeks of any practice due to wrist pain, had enough of exercise deprivation and found this. My hands are actually shaking from tiredness, but wow, I can do a plank and my wrists are fine. You are God's blessing, Adriene, thank you for (all) your work! :)
I’m a professional guitarist and rack about 30+ hours/week with my hands and fingers around a fretboard. This video is seriously the absolute “hands down” best thing I’ve ever done for my playing. I’ve never been able to play so well until I found this. Thanks!!!!
I don't have many issues with wrist pain at this stage, and the pace of this practice and the stillness for the first half or so was really frustrating to me at first even though logically I knew it was valuable. Then, when we did the first downward dog, my heels touched the earth for the first time ever!!!!!!! I was so thrilled, my mood literally changed instantly. Yoga is such a powerful tool in so many ways, and I'm so happy I stuck out this practice today which brought me to such a lovely moment of joy!!!
Yay!! That first downward dog heel touch is the BEST!!!!!!!! It took me months lol worth it!
Love the advice from your mom to take a breath, and it is even more meaningful knowing what she has gone through recently. Wishing her (and you!) the best. Namaste.

I am in pain too
Kendra Lee this video felt so good for my wrists and hands and arms ugh
Exactly the same! Magic!
Same here, I often struggle with wrist pain even before yoga and lately it was acting up. This definitely helped! I know what to do if this ever happens again. Thanks @Adriene
Get ready to "turn two knobs" everyone (13:35). Adriene's tone and facial expressions crack me up. I will have to revisit this and let the instructions sink in a bit more as well as laugh again.

hello friends! its been a while since ive left any fun comments on these videos, i wonder if it has anything to do with the sort of iffy month ive been having (sooooo different from my participative, super energetic, open minded month of june) although i haven’t skipped a practice, i don’t want to let it become something automatic just to tic of my list so here i am.
If anyone’s reading this, do you also sometimes notice vibration/energy differences from one month to another?

Yes, I think it is normal to experience, or recognise, these vibrational shifts, particularly as we become more in tune to our bodies and our energy.

Namaste 🙏🏻
Great workout for my wrists will use this regularly.
I've put some pressure on my wrist today with this video that I haven't done for a while. Deepened my knowledge about the wrists in yoga poses.
Hi Adriene! Yesterday I went to a session of Bikram Yoga to sweat a little bit. During the class, the teacher was nice but really bossy "do it this way, the arms, this way, blablabla, harder, you have to push, you have to pull..." I was in a very competitive spirit with my body and I... didn't like it at all!! I missed you, even if you are "just" my teacher on the videos, I prefered so much your way of thinking, your "Find what feels good". I was like "don't care, not coming back, I prefer Adriene".
We are competitive enough the rest of the day to take the yoga practice for ourselves, right? A lot of kisses from France, Sweet Lady!
C'est pour ça qu'on l'aime Adrienne

Blessed Beloved Will! Nice to see you. This session aided in self-awareness for me, although I found myself incorporating more movement. 😊
I similarly decided to do some pigeon work part way through. Felt great after a run this morning. Happy weekend, friend.
I have fallen off my yoga bandwagon this summer, but this is to hoping I can get back! 🤞 Nice start with going over the foundations. :)
Hi Marta! You can do it. Welcome back! Yoga is a daily ritual for me. I cannot imagine life without it. Best wishes! 🦋❤️🦋

+Eirini Demi Oh, that got me. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful. Namaste my friend .
I don't know if you read this Adrienne but I had to say : thank you from the bottom of my heart. I did this very thoroughly and i am crying the relief is so good
Begin day 20! Wow, I absolutely loved this practice although at first I thought I wouldn’t really like it… The format of the practice is different and I really enjoyed it! And I loooooved the forward fold, it made me realize how strong my feet are and how strong the grip of my feet is) Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💚💚💚
Gratitude gratitude SO MUCH gratitude. Amazing how physical pain is so connected with emotional pain (and vice versa), especially when it "interferes" with a self-care practice. BUT no, no interference. Love the way the universe works -- in this case to remind us to slooow down, modify, and trust that yoga has our back no matter what. Thanks, Adriene! Namaste :)
+Sarah Zickel YES^^^
Awesome is a small word for the depth of knowledge shared here!
Thank you so much, Adriene. In this time of social distancing and coronavirus, I've relied heavily on the benefits that yoga bring my mind and body. When I started feeling wrist pain, I thought it would be the final thing that brought me to tears. This video helped with my awareness so much. I love all your videos, but finding this today felt like a real blessing.
Very eye opening. I was surprised at how different my wrists felt in different positions. Thanks Adriene!
sometimes i dont even realize how stressed I am until I experience the calmness your videos give me. Thank you!
My hands , wrists and arms say, “thank you for giving our special day”!❤️🙏
Great to repeat this sometimes!
holy moly just invest your precious 15 minutes to this video. at first i was like whatever, lets give it a shot with her but wow my hard rock wrist now became a newborn baby’s wrist! thanks so much angel adriene 💜 this video is way better than going to see a doctor!!!
the way my wrist pain was nonexistent by the end of this video... magic, this woman works magic.
I like these videos where I can improve my technique even more, but at the same time I get frustrated because it never feels right. Find whats feels good is my motto to feel good after these vídeos! I love them anyway
This video is unlocking my right wrist (with which I have a problem for a few months, for no apparent reason ...) while unlocking my emotions, my psychological barriers and my life! This simple video has a dramatic effect on my personal growth and I discovered it at exactly the right moment. Thank you so much Adrienne for your constant and inspired work.
After watching a video of Adriene's repeatedly, I begin to notice how many layers she has. Guidance, teaching about yoga concepts, & kinesiology, humor, speaking to and attending to practitioners at all different levels, all at once, just to name a few. Goddess bless. 🙏 ✨
thoughtful remarks, pop culture references, meditation, pep talks ... :D
Thank you Adriene. After carrying heavy suitcases around a few weekends ago, I realised I’d caused stress on my wrists, similar to carpel tunnel. I did your video yoga for wrists every night for a week- and not only did it help me sleep again, but I no longer have any pain from my wrists. Thank you!
The external rotation of the upper arms made ALL the difference! Thank you!
I missed this practice yesterday but it was wonderful to do after the usual yoga ! It was a good reminder to use our hands and fingers properly in some poses!
Oh Adriene you are so much fun. Blessings to you and thank you for theses practices until public classes are possible. Namaste
Yoga is amazing. I've been writing quite a lot for past five years now, and my penmanship has gone worse and worse (I had a small stress facture in my thumb couple years ago and tenosyvitis runs in my family, yea!). I did this yoga two times this week, and my handwriting has become significantly better!
Begin Day 20 🙏
Thank you for this light practice today Adriene.
As a massage therapist this is my favourite video after a long week. I feel the tension unravel in my forearms and my hands open up and breathe deeply into all the joints. I often recommend your videos to clients who are looking for a kind and holistic yoga practise.
Many thanks. Namaste.
I have been struggling for over two years, my wrist were really hurting a lot. I couldn't move them anymore, after this practice they felt completely normal again. AMAZING!
Absolutely love the tension release from massaging my wrists with my toes! x
February CARE! I love this practice! I fractured my right wrist a decade ago and it's never been quite the same since. I never really had any idea that I could do anything to help it until now, so thank you!
As I have POTS I really dislike downward dog or any poses that put my head upside down. Would be really awesome to have some routines that mindfully avoid those poses.
Thank you Adriene for bringing a smile to me each day, you rock!
Wow! This video is soooo counter-intuitive!!! My right wrist was painful and I wrote "no wrist pain" in the search engine of your channel. I started the video and I was grumbling at each moove "I said I had wrist pain, Adriene!" But I kept on because practicing with your videos for more than 5 years now had me trust in your knowledge of the body and in your wisdom. But still, I was grumbling and thinking "Look at this, I am going to have more pain after this practice! And the the first time I am finally going to write a comment to Adriene is going to be to complain!!! Damn!!!" And it ends up that my wrist feels far better now than before the practice!!!! THANK YOU ADRIENE!!! I have been thanking you so many times during the tons of practices I followed on your channel and even during my day time, when I remember to breathe and take one step at a time. I am glad to finally write it here. THANK YOUUUUUU SOOOOO MUCH! You're a human-angel, you help me work through my anxiety, my sadness, my once-big-inside-void and now through my wrist pain! I send you my loving energy and I hope life gives you back all the kindness and well-being you spread around! Thank you for being here and doing these videos with so much care! You're magical! Namaste.
Wow! What a difference that makes. 🙏🏼
Who's here for the August practise?
Just did my first August practice. Better late then never. :)
Meh!
Me!!
me!
Me too!
It's amazing how this focus made my downward dog and plank feel so much more stable and strong - after so many years of practising yoga I think this was the first time I focussed so much on my hand to earth connection so thank you so much, Adriene and namaste to my fellow yogis xx
Adriene: if you're a human and you just did that then you should be feeling it in the muscles of your forearms now
Me feeling it only in my wrist: am I a goat? *confused wrist screaming*
I'm right there with you. I must have been doing something wrong. Wrists = in pain . Forearms = hey ho did we do anything?
@@bsuvanto2605 ikr it's like my wrists are doing extra time while my forearms are on a vacation
me too. My hands looked like the Hulk's by the end- bulging veins lol
Question: are you putting too much weight onto your wrists? Remember to even the weight out to your fingerprints too!
Adriene! Thank you for this video. I'm just finishing the 30 days of yoga, although it's taken me 62 days thanks to wrist pain from a recurring ganglion cyst. I'm determined not to have surgery, so am hoping this combined with your shorter yoga for wrists silent video will help me strengthen my joint and finally beat this leaking fluid once and for all!
As a hairstylist, my wrists thank you. You're my favorite yoga channel, and I suggest you to everyone! Thanks Adriene!
Thanks again for saving me from $$ acupuncture and reflexology. Adriene has indeed yoga for everything. I fell in love with yoga home practice because of you 😘❤🙏
I had a wrist injury for nearly one week now and today i felt like i could try yoga for my hands and wrists again and after this video i felt no pain anymore.Thank you Adriene - i truly love all of your videos!!
Thank you so much! My hands have been killing me since I started learning to play piano, I do your yoga lessons every night and this is just what I needed!
Thank you a thousand times over!
Really awesome for the wrists and for the hands as a whole, Adriene! Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
I have wrist pain recently and the practice really help me relieve the pain, Thank you Adriene from Taiwan
thank you for existing
You have changed my life in so many ways since I found your page 2 years ago. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Game. Changer. Definitely one to put on repeat 💚🙏💚 namaste
Yes! Been having carpal tunnel issues during exams. Perfect timing.
I’m getting back into yoga and have followed Adriene for years. The door knobs bit made my morning! 😂 I needed this practice.
YOU are a genius, Adrienne! I had it done this practice in a while but When my started acting up Exactly what to do: This amazing video!
Day 6 of August 2020. I missed yesterday because of scheduling and commitments, and honestly usually that is what would stop me from continuing. The organization/planning lover in me LOVES following a calendar, but also gets easily discouraged when I cannot follow it exactly as planned (i.e., I have a hard time skipping a day and just continuing forward the next). I decided that I wasn't going to let that stop me from reaching my goal of 31 days of yoga this month. Instead, I decided to just move on with the next scheduled practice, even though it is a day late, and catch up when I can. Cheers to these YWA practices challenging me physically as well as mentally. Thank you Adriene! See you tomorrow!
I've known in the back of my mind that I haven't been using the hands effectively in weight-bearing poses over the short time I've been practicing with you, so it was a joy to find that you have a video for it. You really have a video for everything!
My plank has never been so strong as it was when I was following along with you today. Thank you Adriene.
That was a challenge and my hands and arms were fatigued BUT now that it is over, they all feel revived. I guess it's like stretching other parts of the body. Thank you for a little wrist love!
Back to yoga after 2 years. My wrists are really shot, and I know it's from long computer use. this felt pretty hard and quite painful but now at the end I can tell it's helped. They aren't cracking upon rotation anymore. I'm going to do this every yoga session until they are stronger. Thank you so much.
3+ years of yoga and now, during this video, is when I finally find what the clawing of the fingers/suction effect feels like! Namaste.
wow. this for me is what yoga is all about. focusing on even a small part of the body can affect so much change throughout the rest of the body/mind. most of all, the breath and actions bring awareness to what's real
Thank you for posting this video. I am a flautist and have struggled left wrist pain off & on for a long time. This video was perfect to relax my wrist after an evening of flute practice. And it will help me feel more stable in table top & plank poses during my yoga practice. I must remember to come back to this sequence! Namaste
That was amazing! My left "phone holding wrist" is painful but now feels a little better! Thank you 😁
The drummer in me is so thankful for this. Great video, Adriene!
This is so helpful! Please consider doing a yoga for tight shoulders also! My left shoulder is super tight, so much that it even hurts in child's pose when I stretch my arms out. Would love your tips on how to stretch it out properly.
Okay I’m not usually a commenter, BUT. My right wrist has been super painful for over a week, I couldn’t practice at all because of the sharp shooting pain. I was going to book a doc appt to see if I’d seriously injured it, but I tried this video yesterday. Could barely do any of the exercises, it was so painful - so I figured that didn’t work. Then this morning I noticed that my wrist was less painful and tentatively I decided to try this video again. YOU GUYS. The difference! What is this sorcery, Adrienne? Thank you so much!!!
""finding the push and pull, the balance in these places where we internally rotate and then lift and externally rotate, thats the joy of yoga that's the dance." lol thats deep and so true ! keep it up =)
My wrist hurt so much at the start of this video and by the end it feels much better. Thank you!
Morning! I often follow your online tutorials and this morning, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you! Whatever I need, I can find it on your channel. From specific exercises like here focusing on wrists (ouch!) to more general sequence like the morning sunrise sequence - a search brings up something useful, calming, restorative. It’s always a joy, life-giving, relaxing and useful experience. Content and style really just excellent.
So, once again, huge thanks and please keep going!
Thank you for that! Day #340 of daily practice with Adriene!! Day 6 #ywaINQUIRE -Namaste & Peace ~
Hola Adriene! I'm Valerie,I'm 53 years old and have achy wrists. This videio has been a total game changer for me!!!! Woop! Back in business! I adore you and your approach (my fellow Texan:) I am in favor of laughing my way through health and fitness, so I appreciate the fun! I tell so many folks about you and how you make it easy to follow without having to constantly look at the screen. Thanks for the energy output, love and light, Valerie
I have an ancient wrist injury that flares up occasionally during periods of stress or intense work at the keyboard. I know from experience that returning to this practice strengthens and soothes, helping my body restore itself to feeling balanced and healthy. Last night my wrist pain was so bad it interfered with my sleep. I woke up and ran to this video, I'm relived knowing that already I've found more space and ease in the wrist! Thank you thank you thank you Adriene for making these healing videos and continuing to share them with the world. What a gift! What a blessing!
Follow up: the next day, I woke up forgetting I'd even had wrist pain!
Hi! i'm a massage therapist and a huge amount of my working day is spent strongly gripping and squeezing my hands into that closed shape you were talking about. I've been noticing pain start to build up even after just one massage but this little video has been absolutely glorious in helping stretch is out and bringing free movement back to my hands. Thank you so much! I will be doing this literally every day to help with my own hand health and to help ensure a long and happy career! xx
Thank you soosososoososooooooo much for this video! I'm a hairstylist & have been trying my hardest to find more intense stretching methods for hands/arms/wrists than what my work has already provided me. This was amazing, I can't wait to add this to my daily routine so my arms don't feel like they're going to fall off after every shift I work! You're the best! Thank you again! ❤️
+paperdr0ps Ah yes! Super important for you! glad it helped. Try this one a couple times to get it in your body. It's amazing how fast we return to old habits. The body has to relearn! xoox
paperdr0ps I can totally relate! I'm also a hairstylists so I've had my fair share of pains in my shoulders, wrists, elbows, you name it. Adriene is absolutely awesome!
Since I’ve been doing yoga with Adriene and Benji my response to stressful or upsetting situations has been to take a deep breath (rather than fly off the handle or break down or freak out) and it’s so helpful and - and this point - unconscious that I’m able to navigate stressful situations without them causing too much of an issue. So thank you! 🙏💕
your energy is so lovely and encouraging, thank you for being amazing and inspiring
Ahhh I'll feel this tomorrow! I have generally built up my wrist strength and hardly get any pain anymore but this still worked my hands and wrists like I was back at the start of my journey... In a good way. Back to basics. Back to strengthening those building blocks!
Wow, this actually works! I skipped quite a few weeks of any practice due to wrist pain, had enough of exercise deprivation and found this. My hands are actually shaking from tiredness, but wow, I can do a plank and my wrists are fine. You are God's blessing, Adriene, thank you for (all) your work! :)
I’m a professional guitarist and rack about 30+ hours/week with my hands and fingers around a fretboard. This video is seriously the absolute “hands down” best thing I’ve ever done for my playing. I’ve never been able to play so well until I found this. Thanks!!!!
I swear, this video was life-changing!
