Wrist pain doesn't have to limit your yoga practice. In this comprehensive course, renowned yoga teacher Doug Keller explores the anatomy of the wrists, forearms, elbows, and shoulders to help you understand the root causes of discomfort in weight-bearing poses like downward dog, plank, chaturanga, and backbends. Through clear anatomical guidance and intelligent movement strategies, you'll learn how to create healthier alignment, improve wrist mobility, and build strength without strain.

You'll progress through two focused practices: a gentle sequence designed to improve wrist flexibility and reduce pain, and a longer, more integrated yoga practice that develops strength, stability, and resilience throughout the upper body. Along the way, you'll explore techniques for supporting the arches of the hands, improving shoulder mechanics, and releasing tension through the forearms and nervous system—creating a stronger foundation for both asana and breathwork.
