   Hi,
   It balances the female and male energies. For women the right hand down first( balancing the male energy with the female), for men its the other way around. Thank you for the question!

   That is a good instruction, the reason is that the forearm has 2 bones, the one that runs from the thumb index finger side up is a lot stronger than the one from the little finger side up. Cupping the palm a little helps, like sucking the center of the palm inward, as well you can see if supporting just the wrist on a sturdy folded blanket , while the rest of the hand and fingers are just on the mat works for you. But don’t push it, build the strength up in your wrists wisely

   I was just at an Iyengar class with lots of beginners, and we were told to press the finger mounds (especially first finger and thumb) to take pressure off the wrists. Any suggestions, modifications for students with wrist issues?

    Esther, you said 0:46
    “Right hand down first for the ladies”. What did you mean by that?!
