Autumnleaves Jan 2021 4:31pm, 5 Jan 2021 16,058 posts	0 Autumnleaves Just done day 4 - and right wrist is definitely stiffer - I wonder if it's work related? It's the hand I use for the mouse (although I don't have one with the lap top), in the office I have a weird ergonomic mouse following RSI in my right thumb a couple of years ago.
GimmeMedals Jan 2021 5:12pm, 5 Jan 2021 19,275 posts	0 GimmeMedals I can't decide if the dominant wrist should be less twisty than the non-dominant; it could be work related, as you say, AL. My right wrist isn't great anyway but I can see that a desk job could cause forearm muscles to tighten so it makes sense for the dominant side to be worse.
Autumnleaves Jan 2021 5:20pm, 5 Jan 2021 16,059 posts	0 Autumnleaves That's what I was thinking. I do actually find the way different sides are stronger/weaker, tighter/looser really fascinating!

Silvershadow Jan 2021 8:50am, 6 Jan 2021 1,538 posts	0 Silvershadow I'm feeling old this year. I too am struggling to hold my weight on my hands for long enough and sometimes when she transitions - say from down dog to lunge I'm still trying to get my foot in the right place when she has moved on.
halfpint Jan 2021 9:07am, 6 Jan 2021 33,794 posts	0 halfpint Day 4 done last night - it was nice. Day 5 first thing this morning. Some nice flow in there which is my preference. Struggled with a down dog with one hand lifted but actually found it easier when the hand was placed on opposite thigh. I had a couple of moments where I dropped into a child's pose for a few seconds to take a break. I guess it's a difficult balance for Adriene. She has such a following now she has to cater to her existing fans as well as newbies - I think over the years this has been reflected in the 30 days as they have felt like they dive in a lot sooner. I'd like to go back to the first one I did and see if my perception is right. I just need to remember which was my first.
