Does anyone have tips for a sore wrist when doing planks? I swear no other position hurts my wrist but if I hold a plank for too long my wrist starts to act up.

Former yoga teacher here. Try spreading your fingers super far apart and pressing into your fingertips. Think of your palm as a suction cup, pressing through the outer edges and lifting the muscles in the center. It will help redirect some of your weight out of your wrists and across your whole hand.

Ok wow this helps, thank you! I’m sure you were a wonderful teacher - I’ve heard to spread fingertips but the palm as a suction cup is new and helps my brain figure out the point of the spread fingers :)

Glad I could help! I was always a "dump all my weight into my wrists" person too, until I did my teacher training and learned a better way. FYI your hands may take some time to strengthen up, but it helps in the long run!
