Hi all !
To begin with, apologies for my long-ish absence coming from the blog - lifestyle is busy, and We have been busy enjoying it !
Anyway, last week a reader (who additionally is actually my Aunt !) asked me for any variation on sunlight salutations and vinyasas that may be done having a severely sprained wrist. Getting had this sort of injury prior to, I have recorded 2 brief videos which show you what I recommend.
1. Sun Salutations (from standing)
This sequence replicates contains back-bending and forward bending, simply as a ancient sun salutation, however it used solely the actual legs and also the abdominals - no weight upon the wrists. Thus it is safe to carry out even having a badly sprained wrist.
But, if you're not designed to performing the actual roll-up shown inside the video, it will take a few apply till you can return as much as standing all in one go. As you're coming up, ensure you hug your belly button within your spine so that you could raise to standing coming from the core. If you are unsure this can be done while not " catching " your self along with your hands, simply skip this stage and are available to standing when navasana (boat pose) by crossing your ankles and standing back again up.
You may also reverse this to carry out a vinyasa-style motion in in among poses from sitting.
2. Vinyasa (not for severe sprains because it puts weight upon the elbows)
This sequence could possibly be designed to replace a vinyasa from downward-facing dog. As a result of your weight is requried to be made by your elbows it's fairly safe to the wrists, however many of the weight will radiate through forearms, thus I would not apply it whilst you still have an acute injury - it may be a lot of appropriate to the recovery phase.
Were these helpful? I always like hearing your feedback. Readers, if you have delicate wrists, how do you modify your practice?
