- Okay, hi everyone, 
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

I am Adriene, and today we're
gonna do a Q & A, based on

the videos that 
we've done thus far.

Squeaky chair, sorry.

Rickety, old, antique chair.

Okay, so the first question
is from my good friend Hilah,

and it is a question 
about wrist pressure.

I'm gonna say 
pressure rather than pain.

But a little bit of,

pressure in the wrist 
during Cobra, Bhujangasan.

And it's a common thing, and
it's a great question because

if we're feeling pressure in
the wrist, then we need to

take a chill pill, and we need
to back up off the posture

a little bit.

And it's super common, it's
an easy thing to do, to put

a lot of pressure on the wrist,
because we see people

all the time, like, going
into these bad-ass, amazing,

you know, Cobras,
but two things.

Either they have been practicing
a long time, and they've,

they've created 
that space and integrated

from the crown of the head
to the tip of the tailbone,

so they have a lot 
of space in the spine,

and the back, and the muscles.

Everything's working together,
saying yes, space, Cobra.

That's A.

B, people are just 
cranking up into that posture,

you know, no patience, and,

so it's easy for us to 
wanna do the same thing,

'cause we see it, 
we're like, oh,

that's what it's 
supposed to look like.

So, the kind answer is to 
take a sweet little chill pill,

and just, maybe 
not go up as far.

So, I like to do, and I 
can't remember if we did this

in the video or not.

If we didn't, 
then I should have.

But I like to sometimes, turn
my palms face-up in Cobra.

Just to like really 
check in with my spine and see,

like, am I working in my back,
or am I, kind of,

using my arm strength 
to muscle into the posture.

Again, it's not bad or wrong,
there's no right or wrong

in yoga, just an experience.

But, if you're having a 
less than yummy experience

in your wrist, then try, yeah,
turning the palms face-up

and just getting that 
sensation back in the spine,

rather then in the arms.

Then in due time, we have the
spine integrated, so much so,

and the muscles strong, so
much so, that we're not putting

all that pressure on the wrist.

That was long-winded.

This is my first question,
sorry I'll try

to be more succinct.

I have another question, 
all the way from the

Czech Republic, 
from Sarah Marie,

awesome, awesome 
question about digestion.

And we won't go get all 
personal or get into it,

but it's a great question,
or a good thing to bring up

regarding yoga, because 
everyone talks about how yoga

is so great for digestion and
then, maybe you don't have

that experience, 
and you're like WTF.

So, the first point I wanna
make, that I thank you Sarah,

for bringing this up, is,

everyone is gonna have 
a different experience,

and some of them are 
gonna be vastly different.

So this is great.

Yoga is not just one cure, 
you know, for everyone.

So, that said, though, 
it's hard for me to answer

your question without knowing,
like, what kind of yoga

you're doing and like, 
what you've been up to.

So, if you wouldn't mind 
on this video, or I'll also

respond to you on the website,
let me know what kind of

poses, what kind of 
postures you've been doing.

If you're doing sweaty yoga, 
are you doing, you know,

more restorative branch of
yoga, and then we can also talk,

chat more, chat 
more in private about

digestive tract stuff.

But, it's a great point 
that you bring up, that it's,

you know, it's never 
gonna be the same for everyone.

We're all very different.

But the one thing we 
all can be the same at,

is building awareness

and finding what feels good,
and breathing.

For heaven's sake, let's 
take longer, deeper, fuller

breaths, creating 
good space in the body.

Alright, that's all I have
for now, only two questions.

So if you guys have questions,
let me know.

Leave them on this video here,
or you can send me a note,

or drop me a 
line at the website.

And if you haven't subscribed 
to the channel already,

please be sure to do so.

I am sending you love,
sending you light.

Have a beautiful day. 
Namaste.
