"This is one of the 'heat points' in the body. As you would want to maintain the internal heat built up through the practice, avoid pressing the centre of your palm on the floor. In handstands, [with the centres of the palms not entirely touching the floor], your wrists have more flexibility and that prevents wrist injury as well."
- Nancy Gilgoff, Ashtanga Practitioner's Clinic 2016, Niseko
