New to this site and I need some advise.

 

I have recently been diagnosed as having some arthritis is both my

knees (chondromalacia of patella or runner's knee). I need to change

the type of exercises I do. Almost all the exercises I like involve

knees, and I do not like swimming.

 

Ashtanga seems right, especially if it gives you an aerobic work out.

 

Knee problems are common. Can anyone give me some counsel, or refer

me to a message in the archive.

The primary series can be hard on the knees. My advice, which I

learned from overdoing it, is do a modification if it hurts. I'm a

firm believer that anyone at any level can do astanga.

 

good luck, astanga is a very powerful practice!
