There’s something about the wrists. For many people, they tend to speak up quietly at first through tenderness, discomfort, or strain, especially in weight-bearing poses. From conversations I hear in the studio, this is more common than we often realize.
This morning, I came across an article from Yoga International written by Doug Keller that explores wrist care in a thoughtful, well-rounded way. It goes beyond simply stretching and looks at strength, alignment, mobility, and awareness, all essential pieces for supporting the wrists both on and off the mat.
If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort in your wrists during yoga, this article may feel reassuring and informative. It offers practical insight and gentle reminders that adapting your practice is not a step back, but a way of honoring your body and supporting long-term ease.
If wrists ever feel tender in class, know that options and modifications are always welcome. You’re encouraged to listen to your body and take care in the way that feels most supportive for you.
