Wrist Circles
Why this one

A few slow circles loosen the small joints of the wrist and bring circulation back to hands that grip a mouse and keyboard all day.

8–10 reps

Breath, Inhale to soften the hands · Exhale to circle the wrists

How to do it

Extend both arms forward and circle your wrists slowly, five times in each direction, to loosen the joints after typing.

Keep in mind

Small, smooth circles, no forcing.

Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor, a gentle lift, never a clench, and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
