Yoga exercises are a wonderful way to create strength & create muscular skeletal balance throughout our entire body.

People with weak wrists & shoulder issues could really benefit so much from putting weight into their arms and hands.

When we put weight through the arms there’s an equal & opposite force that naturally engages the shoulder stabilisers & our rotator cuff muscles.

Please see below 3 simple exercises you can do at work or at home any time to help create stronger wrists & shoulders.

Standing with your hands on a wall & press lightly onto the wall.

Standing at a desk or table – Pressing hands into the desk or table.

Sitting on a chair & pressing hands into the chair. Lean forward over your wrists.

During our yoga classes we work through a sequence of exercises to help strengthen each muscle of our body including our hands, wrists, arms & shoulders. Please see below a few exercises we enjoy practicing regularly to help us become stronger in our wrists, arms and shoulders.
