Challenge Your Students Without Challenging Their Wrists
Are you looking for a dynamic yoga sequence that gives students a full-body workout without putting pressure on their wrists? This hands-free flow delivers exactly that while incorporating fundamental movement patterns every yoga teacher should know.
This complete sequence systematically moves through all six moves of the spine—flexion, extension, side bending left and right, and twisting left and right—while targeting the four lines of the hip. What makes it unique is the intentional use of both short and long sides of the mat, creating spatial awareness and challenging balance in new ways.
Why Hands-Free Flows Matter
Many students struggle with wrist pain or simply want variety beyond traditional sun salutations. This sequence offers:
- Complete spinal mobility without wrist pressure
- Hip strengthening and flexibility in all planes of movement
- Balance and coordination challenges
- Fresh perspective on familiar poses
