Recently, every time I do hot yoga, my fingers start closing up and into each other against my will! I cant move my fingers as they all just sort of pull into each other, forming something that looks like a lobster claw. I asked my teacher about it and indeed, she said I was getting “lobster” hands. Its always especially exacerbated by Lucust Pose, I assume because I am cutting off circulation to my hands and arms.

In any case, its getting to the point where sometimes its actually quite painful in a numb sort of way (if that makes sense) and as you can imagine, if I cant open up my hands, I cant do many of the poses!

My teacher said I was simply dehydrated and needed to get more electrolytes. So before class Ive been making sure I drink AT LEAST 2-3 liters of water AND vita coco, but still, its not helping. Im starting to get concerned and I cant seem to find any other info on this.

Does anyone have any advice? THANK YOU!!
