Join NowFlat Palm vs. Tented Hand Yoga Practice
This is a short, focused yoga practice centered on the hands.
We explore two positions throughout the sequence:
Flat palms — pressing through the top and base of the index and middle fingers, with the thumb drawing weight toward the inner palm.
Tented hands — lifting the center of the palm and strengthening the perimeter of the hand.
You’ll move through:
• Gentle supine preparation to wake up the fingers and wrists
• Downward Dog, Plank, and lunges with clear, simple hand contact points
• Standing postures where the hands either spread wide or squeeze with intention
• Balance shapes that challenge wrist stability and precision
The pace is steady and deliberate.
Less about intensity. More about awareness.
Supportive for regular practitioners and teachers — especially anyone who wants stronger, more intelligent hands in weight-bearing poses.
Blocks are optional.
