Aligning Our Hands and Arms - Weekly Theme

When we bear weight on our hands and arms it's important to position them properly to prevent injury. In our Bowspring practice we place our hands outer shoulder width apart to create more space for the shoulders. We turn our hands forward pressing the finger pads, mounds of the fingers, and the sides of the wrist down. The middle finger knuckles, the center of the palm, and the center of the wrist lift, creating a springiness in the hands. We maintain tone on all sides of the arms and shoulders by squeezing the 2 sides of the wrist toward each other.

Rotating our forearms isometrically in so that the elbow hollows face each other creates more fullness in the upper back. Keeping our upper back full, we maintain a curve in the low back and open the front of the neck.
