Description

Peter shares a challenging practice to develop strength and integrity in the shoulders. We find variations of plank to awaken the arms, core, and legs, before moving into arm balances in preparation for Vrksasana (Handstand) at the wall. This practice results in a feeling of strength and stability.

Ouch! I do a lot of plank exercises but this quickly made me realize I have a lot more work to do. I'll keep chipping away at it, carefully (some of the moves seem a little iffy for 61-year-old wrists). But I certainly see a new destination ahead. Thank you for the challenge.

You're welcome Ruth Henriquez Lyon . With patience and perseverance, the wrists slowly come back to a peaceful place. My 62-year-old wrists definitely need more attention and this sequence along with the "Hands & Feet' sequence are my antidotes.
