Happy Hanukkah and Winter Solstice!
Today’s yoga stretch is one for the hands. If you are playing zils a lot, using fans or even just typing all day, taking a minute to stretch out your hands is a good thing. Using the strength of the opposite number helps keep the stretch from being too deep.
For the inside of your wrist, hold your right arm straight out in front of you with the palm facing up. Place the fingers of your left hand on the fingers of your right hand and pull slowly downward bending your hand back at the wrist until you feel a stretch, hold and repeat on the other side.
To stretch the back of your wrist hold your right arm straight out in front of you with the palm facing down. Place the fingers of your left hand on the fingers of your right hand and pull slowly downward bending your hand forward at the wrist until you feel a stretch, hold and repeat on the other side.
To stretch the palm of your hand and the inside of your fingers, hold your right hand palm up in front of you with the fingers loosely spread. Use the index finger of your left hand to press down on the index finger of your right hand, then the middle finger of your left hand to press down on the middle finger of your right hand, continue through all the fingers and the thumb then repeat on the opposite side.
Finish up the stretches by shaking out your hands.
