Yoga for Wrist & Hand
with Susan Richards
Saturday, January 28th, 2-4pm
Benefits of Yoga wrist and hand techniques:
- Keep arthritic joints mobile
- Increase blood flow and warmth in hands
- Improve grip strength
- Improve function of wrists, hands, and fingers
- Decrease symptoms of carpel tunnel syndrome
- Decrease keyboard fatigue
- It feels good and its fun!
In this workshop we will begin with a self hand massage which will lead into a restful guided imagery meditation to increase awareness of our fingers, hands, and wrists.
We will learn and practice specific movements, stretches, and breathing techniques developed for working and over-worked hands.
We will learn how to safely work with any physical challenges to increase mobility.
We will end with a hand-wax therapy Savasana and healing guided imagery.
Whether your hands work at a keyboard 9 to 5, pull weed and plant flowers with a vengeance, play the piano, feel the on-slot of arthritis or carpel tunnel syndrome... or if you know someone's hands that do; this workshop will offer tips and tools to help you find ways to manage any discomfort. We will learn with an emphasis on healing-acceptance. Come prepared to learn, have fun, and relax. Your hands will thank you!
Cost: $25 per person
