Julie Gudmestad – Yoga Teacher & Physical Therapist.
25 th June 6 – 8pm, online workshop Workshop Postponed – new date to be confirmed.
A Taste of Anatomy – the second in our series of lectures with Julie. In this
workshop, she explores the anatomy of Hands and Wrists.
Hands and Wrists
We humans use our hands and wrists all day long in our household activities, keyboard
work, and of course in yoga poses when we bear weight on our arms. In this class, we’ll
look at the anatomy and optimal alignment of these important joints, and how to protect
them from strain. Then we’ll practice yoga poses with weight bearing on the arms, with
special focus on set-up and props to keep the hands, wrists, and fingers happy. You will
have ongoing access to this recording.
An anatomy handout will be provided, and we’ll allow time for questions at the end.
We recommend that students have at least one year of Yoga experience and know the
basic standing poses. This is not a therapeutics class and is not appropriate for anyone
with an acute neck injury or severely limited mobility.
Props: mat, blanket, 2 blocks, and strap
