    I would like to know what kind of wrist modifications there are because I have a scaphoid-lunate ligament tear and will probably have surgery to “tighten” up the wrist. I want to still be able to do vinyasas and be on my wrists in the poses. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Hi Gina

    What limitations are you feeling at the moment? I haven’t had a student with this problem before but I understand that it can be uncomfortable and even painful and causes instability and weakness. I imagine you could be feeling its effects with all that weight bearing. Have you tried splinting your wrist (is that possible and still do yoga)? Surgery seems to be the treatment of choice to as you say, tighten things up.

    Namaste
