Wrist Pain during certain poses

Why is this? Any suggestions to help? Everytime I do upward dog or any pose where there is weight on myw rist. I have to stop due to the pain. Please help! Thank you.

The very first thing a student on the path of Yoga should do in this instance is stop their asana practice and bring this to the attention of their teacher. In receiving teachings on topics that we are not already proficient in, the interplay between teacher and student is quite critical to the process. Just as a muscle spasm is an indicator you are doing something deleterious to the structure so too is the feedback from a teacher that refines the doing.

I can also point you in the following directions for learning…

This is an excellent topic with good recommendations Gordon. Thank you for the information because my left wrist flares up pretty bad sometimes and it can swell noticeably. I will be using these tips.

I’m glad this helped Candi.

Swelling obviously has causality. ANd it also has remedy. Finding it can be so much fun :slight_smile:
