Great post MH. And v useful for many. 😄👍
As I noted after day one with my Big Revelation- hands slightly forward is my default position. Not wrong ‘exactly’ as MH points out, but for me it will be useful to weight bear through the wrists ( also endorsed by MH 😄) because it’s exactly what I need for blocks in the uncomfortable ‘set’ position.
Pick the position that suits you and your aims* . Big learning curve for everyone already. Hurrah!
* but don’t necessarily go for easiest option.

[I have to admit that I'm also sitting on my hands trying not to post about hyperextending the elbows...]
I think Adriene has improved her cueing over the years, or is it just me?

I am unintentionally a day behind but think I will remain so. That way I can get back into the habit of yoga at 6:30am on work days.

MH - Pilates/dance thinking for me always - NEVER 'lock' joints, 'soft knees' and I guess 'soft' elbows makes sense to me. Don't know how to cue it otherwise, perhaps by saying you don't want the joint under tension?

And yes I think her cueing has definitely improved. She's always been a great communicator - a real gift to have- but must have learned through teaching (as the best teachers do) how to communicate/teach even better.
Lawks, a lot of words to say something simple.

I shall do day 3 tomorrow. I did a 'rebirth' one today which was good.
Re arm position, I find making sure my fingers are well spaced and index finger forward helps. I also thing the cue Adriene gives about the 'doming' of the upper back helps keep some of the pressure off my wrists.
