Hatha Yoga for the Hands, Arms and Shoulders
4034 Followers
Releasing the muscles of the hands, arms and shoulders is so beneficial for everyone, without exception. In particular, this class is great if you want to help prevent or heal joint problems such as arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, improve performance at the office or in your chosen sport, improve posture or just feel better. As David says, the key is understanding alignment and moving in a way that encourages release and allows you to let go of stress.

Undoubtedly one of my most favourite classes EVER! Have had awful pain from my fingers all the way up, past my shoulders into the pecs and mid back on the right side for years... this is the only thing that helps!! I'm unable to do most arm balancing poses that require wrist work because of it. Even binds work on one side only. No docs have been able to figure it out. Thank you David.
Thank you, What an amazing stretch for the arms - fingers in particular... Namaste!
I love your classes, David, though I personally dislike the counts in this video - they keep me in my head rather than my body. Stretching felt great, particularly one finger at a time. Thank You!
Loved the concentration on stretching - especially the hands. I added the left hand stretches (up, down, and side to side) as you did for the right. I have arthritic pain in the left and was looking forward to this. It was not part of the stretching so I added it. Both feel great. I will do some of these stretches at work. Thank you!
