(I'm currently pondering how the hand/wrist/forearm stuff in yoga compares to hand/wrist/forearm stuff in rock climbing. In climbing you're continually flexing the wrist and fingers, so you have to do endless exercises to stretch them back out again if you want to avoid injury.
In yoga, you're doing the opposite, putting weight on the hand and fingers in an extended position, and a lot of the advice seems to be about avoiding collapsing the hand, keeping some arch in the palm and flexion in the fingers.
