Yoga For Knee Pain - Yoga for Post Knee Surgery. Gentle & Safe Modified Poses
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- This video is for people suffering from recent knee surgeries/injuries. This is also a GREAT practice for people with broken wrists/suffering from wrist injuries, who are unable to practice a traditional yoga pose. This 20 minute yoga flow takes all pressure off the hands and knees and allows us to meet our bodies exactly where we're at!
This video represents a deeply personal practice that Lauren engaged in while she was on crutches. She wants to share this practice with the world so that others with similar situations know that yoga is ALWAYS available to any one. With any body. Any Injury. ANY TIME.

Thank you so much!! It is really rare to find a yoga video that understands my knee limitations/pain so I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!! 😍😍😍😍
Thanks. I am 65 but used to be much more active. I had a knee replacement which had a lot of difficulties and then discovered I had to have a kidney removed. Then discovered I had injured 4 disks in my back and my arthritis is giving me fits. I am slowly coming back from all this. I discovered your site and read the comment one person left about this video being the only one that really understood knee injuries. I started your program today, could only go for 5 minutes but it felt good to do even that. Thank you. I am glad you are better.
@@seraph44423 thanks for leaving your comment. I got a knee replacement last Oct. and have had great difficulty with the recovery. So I am trying out this video. I couldn’t do much but it was great.
The only video for yoga I have found by someone who understands knee pain and restrictions. Thank you, I love yoga
Kim McDaniel thanks for your kind words, yes Lauren has a special spot in her heart for people who need yoga but may have experienced an injury :D
Agree. Found you in a playlist from +YogaWithAdriene and switched over here. Thanks for helping a guy in his backyard in L.A.
I feel you. I also learned that yoga is not for injury recoveries or for loose weight. That might be a tailor made yoga therapy session. People confuse the real purpose of yoga, prepare the body for meditation (alongside a deep life philosophy) but there’s nothing more frustrating when people see their yoga teachers as physiotherapists (or phycologist) and expect that a group class will fix their injuries.
This is my first time trying Yoga. I have been an athlete for several years and I have always lifted weights and utilized cardio for my workouts. Well, age being what it is and my numerous knee injuries (as well as other injuries) over the years, I found myself in a wheel chair gaining weight. I couldn't stand for longer that 5 minutes and the pain would leave sweat running down my back. So, I had both of my knees replaced. I had an excellent surgeon who did an excellent job. However, now is the painful process of losing weight in my later 50's. Because of my weight and stress (and resulting high blood pressure) my doctor has suggested Yoga. Many times... and many times more. I have now found you. I hope you have more videos for people with knee problems.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Lauren you are brilliant. I had meniscus surgery 5 months ago and truly felt like there was "no place for me in yoga" anymore. Just as you stated. This series of reclined sun salutations, chair pose, wide angle stretch and triangle poses are genius! You brought me back to moving my body again in a yogic way. I love your quote "even if we may not be in our tip top shape there is still so much we can do" That touched my heart and I thank you for that. Namaste
Thank you! With the help of a strap I could follow along in a full leg brace with zero bending capability. Highlight of my day.
So this was my first yoga practice after blowing my knee ACL and meniscus. Was so tight and sore from NOT doing yoga for 2 weeks. Worse than the knee pain. Almost crying at relief to be back on the mat. Thank you for this emotionally healing start.
I'm a senior, also a fitness instructor, but I have been dealing with a torn meniscus. I'm down to one crutch and transitioning to none. This video was excellent! it allowed me to do several really beneficial moves without risk of re-damaging my knee. Thanks, Lauren!
Thank you! I had surgery 2 weeks ago and thought in all ways yoga was out! I wish I found you even 2 weeks ago, my body suffers without it! This has been a life changing moment once again in the art of modifications. I want to become a yoga instructor and this was a great reminder for the future❤
This video is just what I was looking for...I was in a car accident and my leg movement is limited at the knee. I've been wanting to start a routine doing yoga daily but my injuries limited my workout. This is the perfect solution.
Thank you for this video!! My mom has very painful arthritis in her wrists. I found your video for my knees and decided to share it with her. You have inspired her to continue daily yoga routine that allows her to love her body without hurting her wrists. We thank you so much for sharing this low impact yoga experience!
Thanks for your kind words and sharing your experience with us, we'll make sure Lauren gets to see your message :D
At the age of 53 I am now recovering from my second left knee replacement in two years. Exercise has been difficult for the past three years. I was surfing the web and found this video. I am completely HAPPY that I can not scretch and release my stress with your video. I learned some alturnate poses that will allow me to conintue my yoga experience. I look forward in viewing this and more I your videos as I contintue my recovery. thank you!
This is a fantastic video - thank you! One problem I've had is even *getting* onto the floor, though. Because of a tibial plateau fracture on my left knee, I had to be non-weight bearing for nearly three months, which also weakened my good knee. And, since I had a severe distal radial fracture in my left arm as well, I still can't put weight on my left hand. Once I can safely get onto the floor, though, I look forward to doing this fabulous sequence. Thanks again!
Thank you sooooo much. I have lots of knee problems (chondromalacia and osteoarthritis) plus I am currently waiting for meniscus repair surgery which was supposed to happen this week but got cancelled. I just did your video. It was safe for my knees and my hips now feel so much looser. THANK YOU! I will be doing your video again and again!
I've had terrible knee pain lately and this gave me hope that I can do yoga again while I deal with my issues. I love that you can do vinyasa while lying down, brilliant. Thank you!
+Stephanie Kane Hi Stephanie, Lauren here. I'm so glad this resonated with you! When I was first on crutches, I was devastated! And convinced that I wouldn't be able to do yoga again. These exercises got me through a really dark/tough time so I'm glad I was able to share a little of the hope I received from them with others :). Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. After suffering a plateau tibial fracture 6 mos ago, not only am I rehabbing the knee, but my whole body ACHES with inactivity. I've only done this twice, but am already feeling relief in my back and legs! Thank you! Nicole, Calgary AB
I am glad to hear Lauren is working on another sequence for the knee injuries!
The best set for those with unstable knee cups and after surgery time! Just GREAT workout for millions of people! Many many thanks, Tatiana, Russia
Thank you. Finding this clip has released the frustration of being able to do 90% of a practice but fearing the 10% of the on, or transitioning over, the knees, and of course it was the 10% fear and pain that disturbed the peace of a practice. Thank you again for removing that blockage to peace.
This is also great for alignment. Triangle pose on the floor really forces that "between 2 sheets of glass" posture. Fabulous!
I had knee surgery and these are the only 23 minutes a day when I feel whole. Thank you for developing these great techniques! ❤
Yup. Right there with ya! Wishing you peace and no pain.
Thank God for you! I started yoga 2 months ago for an extremely painful chronic illness. I turned to yoga and it is transforming my life. The other day I blew out my knee. My first thought was “but I won’t be able to do yoga”!! “I can’t handle not doing yoga!!” And here you are. Just finished the session with you and I feel better. Thank you! I’m glad you understand and can share this with us!!💕🦋
Namaste.
It has been months of daily pain, swelling, surgery, physical therapy and pure exhaustion! I wish I had found this video a long time ago. Torn meniscus and dislocated patella which has caused firing pain in my hips, swelling down my leg into my ankles. Some days my ankles are so swollen I can not put on (or take off) my shoes. This of course has also caused sleep problems as well. This has brought my spirit down and some days it feels better to just do nothing. I am very active person and the sluggish habits that this injury has caused frighten me.
I am finally at the point where I am feeling well enough that I want to exercise on my own again. These exercises are exactly what I need!
Thank you. I want to hug you right now!!!!
I'm so glad to hear this! I can say from experience that a dislocated patella suuuucks!! Sorry to hear you're having to go through this too, but glad you find this practice helpful. Also be sure to check out some of our meditation videos, as well as my intro to breathing and chair yoga videos, all of which you can do either on the floor, on a bed or in a chair 😀. And let me know if you have any questions!
This yoga video was great! I had knee surgery about two months ago and this is really helping me get back into the groove of things. If you guys are taking video suggestions I would really love to see y'all do a yoga video that works on strengthening the knees and strengthening the muscles that surround the knees to prevent further injury. Maybe some kind of poses that gradually work me in to a gentle squat or a Gentle Bend. Thanks!!
That's a great idea! I'll keep it in mind next time we film :)
I totally agree!
Abbie Ince i
Had meniscus surgery and would love to be able to bend my knee again. I am hoping these poses will help.
Totally love the supine Sun Salutation. I work with a lot of seniors, so this would be beneficial for them. Thank you for sharing. Namaste.
Lauren has helped me do some amazing things in just a matter of days. I've had knee problems/surgeries since childhood that have limited my strength and flexibility. I never thought yoga would be possible with my cranky knees but this video is a fabulous way to start. Lauren, in just five days I have become stronger in my core and legs, and more flexible in all my joints. And I dont feel like a fool losing my balance with some standing poses. Thank you so much.
This is so great! I’m 24 and currently recovering from knee surgery. I am definitely feeling defeated and limited, but this was encouraging and uplifting. Please keep producing this kind of content!
Healing from a broken distal femur and this practice was incredible. I have been feeling very defeated the last 10 months as I am finally starting to get some mobility back. Thank you for sharing this for those of us who cannot do a regular flow yet. Gratitude 🙏
I started this workout because of a MCL injury. This is the BEST LOWER ABS WORKOUT. My pooch has been a problem area for a lot of years. I am nearly flat. I'm shocked and so very grateful. Thank you Lauren. Namaste
I am 9 days post-op from a meniscus removal knee arthroscopy . I have been injured for 5 months waiting for the surgery and have been unable to do any activity. Yoga is the activity I missed the most. Finding this video was a gift. Thank you.
At last, I found a perfect exercise for my bad knee. I had an arthroscopic surgery last year and it didn't help my knee. Because of that I only have limitations on every activities I'd do. So exercising is a big no no for my bad knee. This yoga video is so perfect. I can't feel any pressure and pain on my knee. Please do more or longer yoga video for knee injury. Really appreciate it. X
How great the Universal Mother flows through us all. Am 6wk post op total knee replacement. Have missed my bi weekly yoga sessions at the gym. And I found you. Blessings Namaste.
i really love this video! i have fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis, & chronic tendonitis & on days when my pain level is intense, this is a great way to still get my body moving & engaged. i would love to see the injury-specific language modified to be inclusive of the large number of disabled people like myself for whom our body pain is chronic & has nothing to do with recent/temporary injury/surgery. this may be all the yoga i can manage for the rest of my life, not just a few months, & that's okay!
+Cecilia Wachter Lauren here - Agree, that's totally okay, Cecilia! And so glad to hear you keep practicing and stay active and healthy :). I just spoke that way because I was teaching from my personal experience with this yoga flow, but I'll keep your suggestions in mind for any future videos :). Thanks for watching!
I had full knee replacement 9 months ago & am so eager to return back to Yoga…but unfortunately have had complications w/ pain although better now but still dealing w/ pain but need to return to the Yoga that I loved! I was thrilled to find this “ modified” yoga…Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I cannot find any other video that helps immediately after knee surgeries. This is my 2nd torn ACL and this time I also had a complex meniscus tear on my left leg. They used the patellar tendon to repair my ACL but took it out of my good knee, so I now have 2 bad knees and only just switched from a walker to crutches a few days ago. This video really helps make me feel like I can still have a yoga practice in my life for the next month while still on crutches. Thank you so much!
lauryn nelson That sounds so painful, sorry to hear it! Glad this helped. I can't say enough how much this type of practice saved my sanity during my recovery from knee surgery too! Good luck on the recovery and keep practicing. In other news, going to release another yoga for injuries/disability video soon, using chair yoga, that's another GREAT practice for while on crutches/recovering :)
I know this video was made a few years ago, but I'm so glad it's still here. I shattered my kneecap last year and this is the only yoga workout I've been able to do after surgery and 3 months in a cast. I also have fibromyalgia, so this is a great morning workout to help with aches and stiffness. Thanks for making this modified workout!
I love yoga and am so happy to return to daily practice four weeks post knee replacement surgery with this video. I can do all of it without strain on my knee and without risk of twisting or pivoting movements that are still painful.. thank you!
Thank you so much for putting this on. I've torn the ligaments in my left knee and sprained my right ankle. I was dispairing that I wouldn't be able to do yoga for 6 months. Just gone through your practise using a cushion and no pain. Very happy. I love my yoga.
I was very excited to find this video, as I have not been able to do very much since my surgery. However, I am twelve weeks post full knee replacement surgery and I cannot even get onto the floor. I have been doing the exercises on my bed as best I can but don't feel I am getting the full benefit from the exercises being on such a soft surface, but am still feeling better for them.
Anne, this is Lauren. First, let me say you are amazing and it's wonderful to hear how you are modifying this flow for your own body! By simply breathing and moving, with the intention to flow into these poses, you are practicing yoga in a very real and mindful way. You are still stretching and engaging your muscles, even from on your bed, so please don't be too hard on yourself! You could also try my chair yoga video and let me know what you think. Please keep modifying your yoga practice to fit your body and your needs! After all, I'm only a guide, and you are the true and only master of your own body :). Namaste!
I had ACL reconstruction surgery 5 months ago. This is exactly what I need. It's great to have a certified yoga instructor who understands the pain and restrictions associated with knee injuries. Thank you!
I've been running for a while and have had some knee pain. I heard that yoga would be good for me, but it was hurting too. I really enjoyed doing this today because during and after, I was not in pain. Thank you. You are so peaceful, you made me so calm!
Thank you so much for your wonderful workout. You have given me faith that I can have a yoga practice again even though I have had chronic knee issues for the last ten years. I am 62 ! It has been difficult to find a teacher who knows how to do well executed modified poses. I loved it so much I have subscribed to your channel after one session.
Thanks SO much, Lauren. I've injured my knee and am waiting for surgery...you 'get' knee injury. I miss daily yoga practise and this is my go to daily practise. It really irons out all the aches from sitting and using crutches. THANKYOU!!!!xx
Wow! ❤️Thank you so much , I never thought I would enjoy yoga again after a stiff knee due to knee replacement! So happy to have found you! Keep up the great content and may you inspire many to get back to the mat! Namaste 🙏
I have had bilateral knee replacements so cannot do a lot of poses (table, deep lunges, etc). This is the first video I have found showing modifications. I truly appreciate it and enjoyed learning the modifications. I would like to see more yoga videos that incorporate variations for those that have had joint replacements. Thank you.
+Cathy Bloniarz We'll work on it for sure! Thanks for watching and for sharing your kind words :)
THANK YOU!!! I’m an avid yogi with a recent knee injury. I was afraid to try to modify poses on own at home. This has helped me so much. Thank you again!!
Thank you for creating this. I've loved yoga for years and am 5 weeks post total knee replacement. I've been hungry to move and stretch and now, with the guidance of this video, I can.
Awesome flow! I've been super bummed as I blew my ACL several weeks ago and have been pretty sedentary as I prep for surgery, other than leg lifts etc.. I was blown away that I got all of the same feelings and muscle activation as a standing practice, but no pain to my grapefruit knee! I'll be sharing this with my Physical Therapist so she can recommend it to other knee patients. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
+Abigail Anthony So glad to hear this and thanks so much for sharing! This style of practice was a lifesaver to me after my knee surgery a few years ago so I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to share it with others. Thanks for watching and feel better soon!
This was my first practice almost 4 weeks after my knee injury (broken patella) and it was so perfectly gentle. It blew my mind how I felt like I was doing my usual flows just without the pressure. It felt amazing, my body needed it. Namaste.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I'm going in for a total knee replacement in five days and I've been doing your video this week to help me prepare. Doing this practice with you encourages and strengthens my spirit. Namaste
When I was 19 I had a car accident that broke my right leg. As a result of surgery and a titanium rod inside the leg, I get knee pains in my knee.
Because of this, Yoga poses that put a lot of pressure on the knee can cause swelling over time if I'm not careful. This practice here is amazing and I can keep going until my knee heals and it feels wonderful! Thank you!
This was the best ever. It's given yoga back to me.
+Laidatu So grateful to have the opportunity to share this practice with you and wishing you the best with your recovery. Comments like these really help inspire me to keep sharing the practice, so thanks for sharing your kind words!
Excellent video! Recovering from knee surgery and I feel I got my workout today! Great pace and I love the modified poses! Great for me to use in the future as a yoga teacher! Many thanks!
I have been looking and asking everywhere for yoga for knee hurt people!!! THANK YOU for this
Perfect after injuring my right knee gardening(!). Couldn't practise any of my usual daily yoga routines. This class was a joy to find.
I've been searching for a yoga routine that accommodated my post surgery knee. This was perfect! No more time twisting or pushing my sensitive knee. Very useful!
I have to say I got ACL reconstructive surgery last Tuesday, and had my meniscus tear cut away. I started this video on Thursday and couldn't do much involving my right leg. And today, ahhhh exciting moment on recovery journey!! I've been getting increased bend in my knee, but the most struggling part is I haven't been able to lift my heel off the floor with out some sort of assistance since surgery. Yoday I was doing this video and for the first time my leg lifted and as the workout progressed I got it to go straight into the air, and pretty much did the entire practice yaaay!
+Tiara Hairston this is awesome to hear! It takes time for our muscles to regain strength and recover, and kudos to YOU for having the patience and perseverance to keep practicing! Hope your knee feels better soon :)
I had surgery when I was 11 but never was told I need to strength them to heal. Now that I seen your video, it really help. So thank you!
7 weeks after ACL replacement, and this is perfect. Wish I would have found this first. Thank you and thanks Yoga TX for the best sequences.
Creative flow and poses, challenging but also considering the injuries in the knee. Really appreciate this routine.
Thank you! A snowboarding injury to my right knee and ankle has put a real damper on my fitness and yoga practice. This program allows me to practice safely and without pain!
Lauren, you are so creative. I've been asked to teach a class of knee injured students with back pain as they seem to go together. You video was perfect. Thank you.
5 months post knee replacement and appreciate your gentleness and compassion
Thank you so much for this video. I hope you produce more videos for those of us who have suffered knee and ankle injuries. In my case, this helped me pre and post knee surgery. It also helped to improve my mood and encouraged a very active person that even during a difficult time I can continue to do good things for my body.
Thank you! I have a cyst in my knee and have decided to try to let it heal without surgery. I've tried some other yoga workouts for knee pain that we're okay, but a little too tough for my knee. I think this is perfect for where I am.
Thank you so much! I love these adaptations! Nursing a knee injury at present and was starting to feel really down that I couldn't do anything active. This has really helped me reconnect to my body and feel more grounded.
So glad to hear it! As I mentioned in another comment as well, this practice brought so much joy to my life at a time I felt crippled. Glad to hear it brings peace to you as well!
Thank you for this yoga lesson. I had a total knee replacement about a year ago so most yoga positions are no longer an option for me. I am really happy to have found your video and hope you will post more of the same.
Dear Lauren - Thank you for this video! I am 9 weeks post knee replacement surgery #2 (first one in February). I had my last physical therapy appointment today, and was looking for online strengthening exercises and found your video. My yoga mat arrives sometime today, and I am keen on starting to do your modified yoga program!
What a great practice! One of the very few I found on youtube that fully understands the limitations that knee injuries bring about! I recently tore my ACL so movement on the knee is very restricted and this practice really brought me back to my body. Thank you
Thank you so much- my knee injury and subsequent surgery was as you described devastating to me at first, but I have done my best to engage with the journey. Discovering this video and being able to practice feels incredible. As somebody else commented, highlight of my day.
I've had multiple knee operations and literally cried after doing this because for so long I gave up on my body and believed I couldn't do yoga. You have helped so very much! If Lauren has any other videos for knee pain, I would be so grateful. Please let me know! :)
+Amanda Exum So glad to hear it! What a relief that no matter what's going on with our bodies, we can still do yoga in some way or another :). I'll try to bring this up and get more filmed soon :)
Feels great to do something i love without the pain. thanks for posting.
Grateful for this! I injured my knee to the extent I feel like an intermediate yogi with one knee that's never been on a mat before! This really helped!
Brilliant absolutely brilliant - brought me tears at the end - THANK YOU !!!!!
Just what I needed as I'm recovering from a sprained knee. More please!
Thank you so much! I am recovering from a bad knee injury and this was awesome! Namaste
knee injuries combined with elbow injuries always caused additional pain when trying typical yoga workouts.
pain free during your routine yet still feel like everything nicely stretched. thanks for the video.
I am so very grateful for this video. I had knee surgery 5 weeks ago and have been deeply missing yoga and physical activity. Thank you for giving me a way to practice. I needed this.
I've been watching this everyday... Life saver after my osteochondroma surgery on my right tibia. Thank you for developing this sequence for yogis craving for the mat after knee surgery, Lauren. And thank you Yoga TX for making this unique video!
I realise this is a very old video but it’s the only one I could find which was inventive, creative and took all the pressure off my damaged knee!! Thank you.
I fell riding bicycle today and wound up with a pretty swollen knee. I've just begun a 30 days of yoga challenge and thought I'd have to quit until I found this. Thank you so much for posting!
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I really needed this right now, I have needed something I could do and I CAN do this Thank you!
I injured my calf muscle running and have a daily yoga practice that I now can't do. I really need it and used this. Thank you so much. With one and a half days of no yoga, I already feel so stiff and hobbling around is not helping. So this was awesome. Thank you.
Had knee surgery three days ago and found this practice by chance. So wonderful and helpful when I am still sore but keen to maintain my yoga journey. 🙏
I just had a total knee replacement. I couldn’t wait to get back to yoga. Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was wonderful and I feel great!
Kym Silva, glad that this video helped ya out! Yeah, Lauren, and actually a few other of us have knee problems too, they're no fun :( Lauren will be glad to hear that you liked it and would like more videos like this because she has been working on a series that is just like this!
This is literally the BEST video i have found for post surgical knee recovery! I'm 6 months post surgery and unable to practice a lot of the poses. EXCELLENT MODIFICATIONS ! I do this video every day! thanks so much :)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 2.5 years ago I contracted something called Chikungunya from a mosquito while travelling in Nicaragua. It attacks your joints and causes severe joint pain. I was in a lot of pain for almost a year. My body still hasn't fully recovered as my joints and muscles are still very weak, and I am constantly injuring them. My yoga practice basically disappeared with the exception of a few restorative classes, and yoga at the pool. I felt great after doing this class and interestingly enough when I stood up after the class I could feel how my feet were more grounded despite doing the poses laying down. Thank you again!
ACL reconstruction recovery here! 2.5 weeks post op and did this today! Fantastic! More please!!! :)))
I know this video is old but I wanted to comment and request anyway. I have a possible torn meniscus and have to be gentle on my knees. I was disappointed because i thought I’d have to give up yoga and working out. I’ve also struggled to find yoga videos that would be easy on the knees. So I was very happy to find this video. If at all possible, please make more knee friendly, or injury friendly, videos. Love em.
Wow wow wow! Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
I've been dealing with knee pain all this year and as a teacher I was starting to doubt myself and practice and what I'm doing.. I love how compassionate and gentle your approach is, and how accommodating the sequence is. Very creative. Reminds me how the practice should serve the body and not otherwise.
Thanks again, looking forward to trying this again tomorrow!
Thank you for the video! I am 12 weeks post op for a TTO and this video is perfect to build my confidence in doing yoga with a knee surgery! Really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for this video! I had knee surgery a month ago and it was such a joy to find a video I could do to get back into my practice while my knee is healing!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been a dancer for 15 years and suffered a knee injury this past year, this was very helpful :)
Lauren Piskothy were you able to dance again? I’m going through this right now
I had knee surgery done about two weeks ago. I was missing yoga so much, so started looking for post knee op yoga online and I found your video. It felt so good to practice yoga again. Thank you very much!! Merry Christmas!
This was great. I just started my fitness journey but recently hurt my knee. I didn't want to sink back into my old ways. Thank you for giving me a different way to do something physical.
Thank you so much for creating this video. Having had ACL surgery seven weeks ago, this is such a balm for the soul and body 🙏
Awesome!
I feel off my bicycle and landed on my right side. Both my right knee and right wrist were injured. This set was wonderfully cognizant of these types of injuries. Thank you.
This is such a great video. Thank you for giving me hope! I've had 6 knee surgeries and now they want to replace the knee all together. I was always a very active person and my spirit has been broken... until now! After doing your video, I felt wonderful inside and out! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
+brownieb1208 Our pleasure entirely. I'll make sure Lauren gets to see your kind words :D
This was so helpful for me. I'm recovering from a knee injury and arthritis in my knee and have missed my yoga so much. Thanks so much.
I am 45 years old, and I have had eight knee surgeries (the most recent was four weeks ago). I am scheduled for double knee replacement in two months, which means I am still healing from one surgery, but I need to be strong/flexible for the upcoming surgery. This yoga session was an absolute blessing for me, one that I will do a couple times a week. I love the sun salutations and all the other modifications in this video - thank you!!!
