Hi Mallory
You haven’t tried yet and so I don’t know what limitations you will find. But you have probably chosen the style of yoga that will least bother your wrist. These are static poses. There are no poses where you put your hands flat on the ground and support your entire weight with your wrist bent.
There is a pose where you lay your arms palms down under your body. There are pictures of that pose here. It’s called Locust pose. But I envisage that it may be uncomfortable at first – as it is for just about everyone who has ever done this pose – but your wrist will be straight and not bent and your whole arm and shoulders (ideally) will take the weight.
Some of the poses will help you create traction in your wrist (space!). Other times you will be asked to extend your arms over your head and lock out your wrists and elbows. Don’t be concerned about doing that just yet. Hold your arms up and see what length you can create. Hint: Check into your shoulders and keep that relaxed. Enough with the hints! 😆
So my advice would be to go and start, just use your first few classes to familiarize yourself with the poses and the series. Come back here with specific questions. Don’t push yourself too much as you learn what the activity does to/for your wrist.
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
