The wrists are sensitive joints and yoga can help them! Unfortunately, yoga can also hurt them. The bulk of this class is a sequence that will tone your overall body, without any weight bearing poses on your hands and wrists. You will also learn a few quick wrist therapeutics that you can practice daily, along with some healthy alignment and prop use for when you are putting weight onto your hands.

A wonderful class! The past few years my wrists have become less comfortable in many poses, so this was very helpful. Thank you!

I appreciated this class because it provided a yoga session without too much strain on the writs. But my wrist has been damaged by a fall and I cannot put my hands under my shoulders for the Table pose, which factors significantly in this class. My wrist cannot be placed in a 90 degree angle. Which makes table difficult and makes lifting the one leg almost impossible in table pose. Is there something to compensate for this?

Hi Constance, there are some yoga props (foam wedges) that are used for just this reason. You can also come into fists so that your wrists aren t flexed. Thanks for the great question!

I absolutely loved this class! I wish more Yoga classes were easier on the wrists.

elise fabricant commented on this review

Hopefully, now you know how to adapt other classes to be easier on these fragile joints.

I recently had a mountain bike crash and my hands and wrists are very sore. This was a nice practice to loosen up and assist in their recovery. Thanks.

Ouch, I hope you heal up quickly! Glad this class helped.

As someone with wrist issues, I found this to be healing to my wrists while still offering a challenging practice. Will definitely come back to this one!

Yay, MJ! That s exactly what I was aiming for with this session.

This is such a great class - thank you, Elise! I m struggling with tendonitis, so I turn to this class on days when my wrists are particularly grumpy. Any chance of an intermediate-level version of "Easy on the Wrists"?

elise fabricant commented on this review

Sweet. I hope that this class gives you ideas of how to modify poses in other classes, too.

Great class. Any possibilty of another one that s more "bring a towel" level? I have arthritis in both hands, so I really appreciate this type of offering. Too many downward facing dogs, etc. can be painful for me. Thanks!

I totally get it, Lisa!

So great!! I m suffering from a hand/wrist injury and missing my regular studio class. This is a wonderful all over stretch and strengthen with special attention to these areas.

Elise is so good at really explaining how and why your body does the things it does. I have median nerve damage in both of my wrists and arms and because of this my wrists are extremely sensitive. This practice was a wonderful way to stretch out my body without jarring my wrists. Thank you so much for this practice!

So when I got to about the five-minute mark I nearly cried -in a good way!- because my left wrist is in bad shape, and this practice showed me that it is possible to work my entire body with a flow that won t continue to destroy my wrist. Oh yeah, and I felt suuuper sore after this class! It is kind of amazing, and I ll come back to this video again and again.

elise fabricant commented on this review

k_om - that is pretty much the best review I could imagine! Yes, I wanted to illustrate that those of us with challenged wrists can still get a good yoga workout.

Great class my wrists feel better and my neck and shoulders also got a good stretch. I wish there was an easy on the knees class I have a torn meniscus in my left knee that was not repaired so terminal flexion and long lunges are not available to my body. I have open hips and hamstrings so I also have to watch out for hyperextension. Overall a good class but I had to modify quite a bit for my creaky knees.

elise fabricant commented on this review

Megan, thank you for the brilliant idea of creating "easy on the knees" flow! I ll mull it over and get back to you with a new YDL class just for you :)
