Does anyone have advice of what to do when you cannot put body weight on 1 of your arms? What can I do instead of downward dog?

HI Angela Veninga. Childs pose is a great alternative! If you can put a little weight on her arms, you can try dolphin pose, it takes the weight out of the wrists. Extended puppy pose is good too! This article has some good alternatives: http://shawnradcliffe.com/6-alternatives-to-downward-facing-dog/
