I'm a certified yoga instructor specializing in Bikram Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Children's Yoga. My style of teaching emphasizes a safe, supportive environment in which students can explore, be challenged, and find their own inner teacher. I want students to emerge from the classes feeling relaxed, open and alive. Ask me anything about yoga. Anything!
Sorry to hear about your right hand, but there is definitely a solution. I have been practicing and teaching Bikram hot yoga for about 10 years. It has completely healed my injuries and has done the same for countless others. It is definitely low impact on the wrist, and there is one particular posture in the series that focuses on healing the skeletal structure of the elbows, wrists and hands. I would highly recommend trying it.
I have found that vinyasa yoga did more a bulking my muscle in the upper body/shoulder area, but Bikram has giving me overall fantastic toning! Sounds like you're on the right track.
Forward folding is a great way to open up those hamstrings.

I practice yoga for 90 mins, 4 times a week and that is the only form of exercise that I do. I eat a very balanced diet and I stay slim and toned. It depends on your diet, genetics and effort put forth in the exercise.

I have not found that any yoga practice emphasizes work in this area that would be noticeable. There is a great balance of core work in the practice, but you'd have to do daily oblique training to obtain an obvious bulk there.
I would recommend plow pose or deaf mans pose for compression of the abdomen. It creates a compression/tourniquet effect in that area, which will increase blood flow to the area when the posture is released. Wind removing pose is also a recommendation.
Turmeric is excellent for inflammation and you can take up to 3,000 milligrams per day.
I would recommend not doing hip opening postures everyday. It's better to change up the sequence of poses each day, so that some days you are more focused on strengthening the hips. There needs to be a balance of stretching and strengthening.
