Do you have painful or sore knees when practicing yoga? Would you like to understand why and how to fix it? Then this class is for you.
At the beginning José offers practical anatomical information about the knee, the muscles that strengthen the knee and how to keep the knee safely mobile. She also explains that knee injuries can come from lack of mobility in the hips and the ankles. This information will help you understand what creates the difficulties in both Yin and Yang yoga poses, and which adjustments or pose variations you can do to avoid injuring your knees. She continues with a Yang flow practice using poses that strengthen the muscles that protect the knee. You can do as many rounds as you like, before going into the Yin poses that safely keep the knee mobile. The practice ends with Savasana to allow your body to absorb its effects. Everyone can benefit from this class, but keep in mind your limits. Different options are given for each pose so you can adapt them to your needs. Props needed: blanket, blocks, bolster and pillow.
