Q,
Glad you found it helpful! Hope others will as well. Finger yoga…who would havee thought! LOL
Flex,
Are you referring to the finger issue that Q brought up or the shavasana palms down?
Shavasana palms down/up.
Not so sure it’s exclusive to men. I have quite a few women who also have this problem. Most of the time it’s due to sitting at a desk, hunched over a computer all day. The upper back muscles become overstretched and weak and the chest muscles become tight. Backbends, interlacing fingers behind back in venus, lifting chest and looking up, lay on belly and do same all help open the chest and strengthen back. Shoulder squeezes are also good to isolate movement of scapulae. You have this problem Flex?
Hi Q,
I found this piece of bone but in my case it doesnt press floor too hard. Maybe its because I rotate palm a bit so my elbow is not in this position when end of humerus is pressing the floor. But I will start to hold palms up so no probs with humerus for me now 
[QUOTE=Quetzalcoatl;36251]Hi Pawel,
another note on why it is of relevance (for me) to have the palms facing up: When they face down, the ellbow joint-area is “pressing” on the ground uncomfortably. Stretch your right hand out with the palm facing down right now. If you touch your ellbow-joint area where it is facing down too (with your left hand obviously), you will feel a kinda ball-shaped bone-piece as the lower-most structure, which (I think) is the end of the humerus. If you look at this picture it should be the big round thingy on the inside of the left arm (on the right side of the image). This “Humral Medial epicondyle” will press into the ground and start hurting after a while. If you turn your palm up now, that structure will turn in (like on the image) and be - position-wise - replaced with the actual ellbow. That one becomes very flat with the arm stretched and won’t hurt. Probably also because it is used to some pressure and therefore less sensitive.
Awesome explanation, ain’t it. :lol: However, if you do Shavasana for longer periods, like 20, 30, 40 minutes, this bally bone-piece (“Humral Medial epicondyle”) will start bugging you even on two foamy-1.5cm-ultra-soft mats.
