Hand & Wrist Foundation Alignment Drill (Hasta Bandha)

Plant hands on the mat pointing forward; press firmly through the base knuckle of the index finger and thumb while clawing with fingertips to protect the outer wrist cartilage.

Key points

  • Press into the inner hand, particularly the index knuckle and base of thumb
  • Avoid tenting the hands or dumping weight into the outer wrist cartilage
  • Keep fingers moderately spread so fingertips can act as active balance brakes

Common mistakes

Tenting the palms, collapsing onto the outer edge of the wrist, or spreading fingers excessively wide.
