Common injury in yoga is pain in the wrists. In all weight baring poses, especially down dog, if you roll all your weight back toward the wrist you will hurt your wrists. Factor in repetitive motion and you will have a full blown injury. Consider these tips in the info graph and press into "L" of your hands, transfer the pressure forward & distributing the weight. If you suspect an injury is brewing, better to baby it - opt to modify or skip any postures that causes pain. Down dog modify with dolphin, plank/side plank modify with forearm plank/side plank. Seriously damaging your wrist is possible, listen to your body and avoid going where it doesn't want to go. #yoga #yogachicago #namaste #infograph #injuries #alignment #honorthebody
