This was really useful as my husband is having wrist problems at the moment so thank you. Also interested to see you mention hypermobility. I only found out this year that I have it!
Thanks for this little movement break! I need to share this with my husband, who's a software engineer. It's funny, when I was doing the wrist circles at the beginning and end of the video, I found myself thinking, "Am I doing this right? Is it circles or figure 8's??" Ha! I bet it doesn't really matter...
Thank you for talking about yoga of the wrists! I think areas like wrists and ankles and elbow joints are not mentioned in a lot of yoga classes. Luckily, my current yoga teacher is really good at including these little areas that can cause problems if they are ignored, but having taken many classes over the years, a lot of teachers don't cover these areas. It's also important for someone like myself who works in an office several days a week, as well as then working on writing on the other days! I spend far too much time on a keyboard, although have to say that my hands and wrists often ache more when I do a lot of handwriting, not sure why. With that in mind, the exercises you share on your video here would be really useful for students taking exams.
Way back when the army was teaching blind speed typing to a bunch of us newbie comms ops, the chief instructor walked in to talk about wrist and finger exercises. He performed an we copied. His last piece was to slowly bring his open hands together, and then faster and faster. Without another word he bowed deep and walked out to the sound of orchestrated applause.
I sometimes use this at the end of my gigs. Never fails. lol. Peace, Maurice

Great tips, thanks.
I do a lot of bouldering, so I imagine this is also good for helping there too 😁
My aching wrists thank you!
