Using your hands correctly in yoga asana is paramount.

Balance in Asana is always a balance of opposing actions and movements. For example, as much as you ground your palms also “draw” up through your arms. And as much as you externally rotate your shoulders, internally rotate your shoulders.

It sounds counter intuitive, but the opposing actions yields great results. Dont forget to press through your thumb and index finger.
