Sat Nam,

 

In my yoga practice I'm sometimes hindered by a pain in my left knee - while

sometimes pain can be gone through, this feels very much like something that

shouldn't be. I've both read and heard the admonition to honor your knees in

practice, as they can be damaged. Is this correct?

 

Can you direct me towards any asanas or exercises that I can do to

strengthen the area?

 

Thanks,

Reuben

Sat Nam Reuben:

 

Definitely, honor your knees - and your whole body for that matter!

I don't think one should ignore pain - it is a signal from your body.

 

The best exercises for strengthening the knees are frogs and crow

squats. If you can't do the full exercise, try coming halfway down.

 

Lots of walking has raelly helped my knees, and a consistent, but

gentle, approach to my yoga practice has clearly resulted in improved

strength & flexibility, as well as less pain - I rarely am bothered

by them these days, even though I used to be due, to mistreating them

with various sports in my younger days.

 

Blessings,

Sadhant
