Wrist and shoulder

The relationship between the shoulders and the wrists is an important one to explore.
You must avoid interfering with the natural movement of the human body.
If you can move the hands in harmony with the shoulders, you will not cause unwanted tension in the shoulders and arms.

Consider the angle of the wrist joint...

Is it horizontal, with the palm facing forwards or down?
Is is vertical/diagonal, with the palm facing towards the body or away?

The angle of the wrist will determine where the hand must be held:

- if horizontal, the hand must be outside the shoulders
- if vertical, the hand must be inside the shoulders
