In this practice we focus on a very specific and often overlooked hand position — the relationship between the first, second, and third knuckles of the index and middle fingers. By learning how to press the base knuckles down while allowing the middle knuckles to soften and bend, we build strength where it actually matters.

This sequence weaves that hand position through familiar postures including plank, downward facing dog, lunges, standing balances, and arm-supported shapes. The goal isn’t just stronger hands, but healthier wrists and more stable shoulders over time.

This is a subtle practice, but an important one. Ideal for students looking to improve weight-bearing confidence, reduce wrist strain, and support long-term sustainability in their practice.
