Neglecting wrist health can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility—factors that can significantly impact our ability to perform everyday tasks. From writing and typing to lifting and bearing weight, we rely on our wrists in nearly everything we do. Strong, healthy wrists support a wide range of motion, enabling us to move freely and with confidence. This class begins and ends with essential mobility and flexibility exercises for the wrists and hands. Along the way, you'll explore deep forward folds and grounded squats—postures that you may find yourself returning to regularly for their benefits. Throughout the session, we revisit Hakini Mudra, a gesture symbolizing balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Engaging both hands symmetrically, as we do in this practice, activates both hemispheres and enhances coordination. When we use both hands—especially in complex movements—the brain must synchronize their actions. This coordination relies on the corpus callosum, the structure that facilitates communication between the brain's two hemispheres, allowing information to flow seamlessly. This is one to come back to and pair with the shoulder blade class for healthy upper extremities!
