This is very very important. When doing poses where your hands and wrists are supporting much of your weight, spread your fingers as wide as you can. Activate every single fingertip, pressing them firmly into the ground, as if you were gripping it. Taking some of the weight out of your wrists by distributing the weight to your fingers is a good practice to get into since many yoga poses support a lot of weight on your wrists. Once you get the hang of it, you will notice a huge difference.

You might also consider wrist supports. Either way is fine, just remember that unless you want to risk injury, safety is important!
