If you work at a desk or with your hands in any capacity - such as a musician or carpenter - it's important to keep your hands and wrists limber to maintain optimal health. This class is great for improving flexibility, range of motion and blood flow in the hands and wrists. It's a good way to help prevent or work with arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome and it's a fantastic way to remove the tension and stress from an area that is so often over-worked.

Great for stretching hands and wrists
Loved this one...My hands and wrist get so tight for work and this class was just beautiful to loosen them up. Thank you David for another great class.
Great class! My hands and wrists feel great!
All movements are easy to incorporate into a daily work break. I particularly liked the last exercise. Sadly, it was hard for me to maintain the seated pose that long with my back straight and knees down.
I work at a computer every day so this elt awesome!
Great class after typing all day
I was stunned at how different my hands and arms felt at the end, thank you! There was one part, the first time stretching the fingers, that a shot on David's hands from a different angle would have been helpful, but I finally figured it out.
I may need to start doing these stretches daily. My hands feel so good!
Good class! Love the warmth & circulation I feel now. Thank you!
Thank you, what a lovely class, I have arthritis in my hands it was nice to give them a focus and feel like I was doing something for them
Great stretch -- after a marathon knitting session yesterday, my hands were tired today. No more!
I have three "wacky" fingers that Ive hurt in someway throughout my life. My fingers and hands thank you-they feel like they've finally gotten some much needed attention.
This is a great yoga routine to do after archery. It really helps relieve any tension that has built into my hands and wrists. Thanks!
That was fun and useful. Thanks David.
Very good. Wish I had done this years ago
I work at a desk all day so I found this very helpful!
Never thought about specifically stretching hands but it was good.
Felt amazing to release the tension in my hands, wrist, and fingers. I work on computer all day and while I knew that my wrists, neck/shoulders held tension I didn't realize that my fingers were in such need of release. I also really felt the chi moving in the last movement. Loved it! Thanks David.
I'm awake now! Great class to work on hand and wrist joints. Gentle way to bring energy into the body first thing in the morning, as well.
Felt great! I work a desk job and know this type of stretching would be so beneficial if done on a regular basis. I am going to incorporate this into my day. Thank you, David!
unique
I used to avoid David's classes, because I always came away surprisingly very sore the next day, because he makes you work really hard without really moving much, and you don't realise it. Now I really prefer his methods of teaching.
Very helpful!I feel this class is great for someone who uses devices, whether with a keyboard or a touchscreen. I plan to use this video in the future for my hands and wrists.
as an artist, I am sure this will come in handy on many occasions
Glad to have learned these stretches. Will probably try to do them more often.
I never thought about stretching my hands, but this was helpful.
Excellent! Thank you!
Definitely going to keep this one in my tool bed. Even as I'm typing this I can feel the looseness and relaxation in my hands. This'll be a great one to come back to always. Time to go test out my new Barista hands. Thanks, David!
A good complement to Erica's Therapy for Hands and Wrists.
Thank you so much for this class! As a knitter / spinner / weaver / seamstress I wish I had discovered this years ago! I will come back to it often.
There is a lot in this class. Its one I will come back to. Great stuff.
absolutely wonderful for my hands, they feel so much more mobile, thank you
Good warm up for the hands and wrists, which we use a lot in yoga and often don’t pay attention to
As an LMT for over 20yrs and an avid aspiring yogini, my fingers, hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders HUUUURRT! This class really helped loosen everything up from chronic overuse. I will return to this often. Thank you!
From pain meds to crow pose.
I just loved this class. My avid knitting has rendered me with right thumb tendonitis. Acupuncture, The Rub cream with Arnica, Turmeric and this class is a life savior! Namaste David Gracias.
Thank you! :)
So grateful you offered this class. I've been having trouble with my wrist and hand and yoga hasn't been as enjoyable as a result. This class reminded me to slow down and take care of the part of my body that needs my attention. Thank you.
Thanks!
Amazing feeling!I'm a pianist and this is a great way to stretch out and relax those overworked muscles!
I've had doctors looking at my joints for over a year now with no relief in sight. Just confirmation on what I didn't have.
After receiving (finally) some physiotherapy on my left ankle (fall down some stairs) I had an idea to see if there were any yoga classes specifically for hands.
David I found your class and did it after watching it the once.
The following morning I had more movement than I'd had in an age, and no pain at all.
I didn't do the class again that day - this was yesterday by the way - and I woke up this morning, stiff once again and in pain.
That was more than good enough for me. I've joined now, and will progress through the other classes as well.
Thank you ever so much for the relief you've given me.
Namaste.
Thanks thanks thanks!!!
This was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much, David! I will do this practice regularly.
First, thanks so much for offering this short video for the hands! I've been having a problem with my right hand and wrist lately and this was certainly helpful. However, as someone with a hearing loss, I found David's soft voice more of an irritation than the soothing sound I'm sure he meant. Even with my new bluetooth earbuds, it was too soft. Please consider those of us with hearing loss when creating these programs. Soft isn't soothing when you are straining to hear.
That was a great workout for the hands. It reminded me of the very curative exercises I once had to do for tennis elbow. The yoga for the hands may be preventive for tennis elbow or other similar injuries. It was easy and enjoyable.
R had stiffer than left on dog paddle. It was broken Jan 1! Will keep at it! thank you!
