Hi there,

I have a quick question about full locust.

Firstly, I’d like to say thanks to the hot yoga doc for this great forum and ipad app – it really helps!

I was just getting used to doing full locust and seeing great improvements and now seem to have hurt my right wrist! I don’t know what I did, it was in locust pose and something seemed to ‘click’ or strain and now it hurts!

My wrist doesn’t ache in everyday life, just when it is in the position it would need to be in for locust. It is also uncomfortable in locust.

Any suggestions on how to modify, what it is, how to help it get better?

Thanks!

Hi Diane

It’s highly likely your wrist is hurting under your hip. Until it feels better try placing your arms / hands out to the side of your hips or just under from the side, at an equal distance from the midline. Just play with that distance to find some relative comfort. ‘Dialog’ says fingers touching, but just get the arms symmetrical. That should do the trick.

As the wrist starts to heal, just move them in further until they’re back to ‘ideal’ position.

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
