Deconstructing Down Dog Part 9 of 10 Hand Position

Just like any pose, lift or technique the pose must adjust to the body. We can only make so many adjustments before the pose, lift or technique just might be thrown out because the risks out way the benefits.
Believe it or not it’s your “simpler” poses like child’s pose or happy baby that get thrown out.
Hands in down dog are not always best flat. There may be too many issues going on in the wrist for this to work out in the long run.
I will have clients cup their hands, make a fist, use a blanket or cone down to forearms or rest in child’s pose and wait until the next posture. For more on this head to my blog at http://www.lovelandyogacorefitness.com/blog
