Hatha Yoga for the Hands, Arms and Shoulders
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.

so perfect right now for tense upper back, shoulder pain and beginning arthritis in hands. I think I need to do this every day. Thanks again.
as someone who frequently uses a keyboard for 3-10 hours a day, this was a joy to perform. my hands feel light and limber, which may not seem like much but mine are doubtlessly as sore and tight as an Olympian swimmer's back
I did this as part of the 30 day challenge and didn't expect to find it so rewarding! I've only recently made it into reverse prayer, but by the end of this class it came easily. This is a great class for climbers - we tend to end up with rounded shoulders, tight forearms and injured fingers. I'll definitely be visiting this one again when the 30 day challenge is done.
I have done already some previous of these classes on shoulder, arm, finger stretches but always wondered how to stretch the tissue between thumb and forefinger. I am 56 years old, yet quite fit but unpleaseantly surprised especially in the last year that everything around my wrists, hands has become tighter, and I have added some stretches to my regular routine. Just for the thumb/forefinger I did not have a good idea. But here we go! I am so grateful for the ever new impulses you provide!
