Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sat Nam! I need some helpful advices (good kriyas, therapy or aything else) to help a person with pains in his knees due to spoilt cartilages (he already had meniscus surgeries to both the knees and he doesn't want to have other surgeries). Thank you all in advance! Fateh Dharma! Sujan Singh http://www.yogajap.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Dear Sujan Singh, I have had good success with frog pose practiced daily. I have a long history of knee related issues, dislocations, arthritis, compression injury and about six months ago my left knee became very painful after squatting to reach something near the floor. There was a popping sensation and though I did not feel pain until the next day, my body signaled that something was amiss at that moment. At first I stayed off the knee as much as possible and the pain and inflammation and lack of flexibility just became worse. Then I recalled reading Yogi Bhajan's advice - do frog pose and you will never have any knee problems. I began slowly allowing flexibility and strength to return gradually, did self massage, and now it is significantly improved. It was also good for me to sit on the floor with my leg extended, sometimes supported by holding my leg just above and behind the knee joint and then bending and straightening the knee joint. This helped align connective tissues in the joint before I did frog pose. I still do this before and after sitting in vajrasana. I was also open to the lesson presented by this signal from my body. The injury felt to me like a physical manifestation of an area of my life that sorely needed attention. I hope this helps someone!

Sat Nam! I've experienced what you wrote I just can agree with you. My doubt was about this painful moment so I was afraid he couldn't handle frog pose now: I'll tell him to start slowly listening his body (to not create any stress). > Guru Gopal It's funny: I just had a call with a nice friends (an italian teacher) and her name is Guru Gopal Kaur........and I read your reply......

Here - http://www.pinklotus.org/-%20KY%20Kriya%20for%20Sat%20Kriya%20Workout.htm - you can find a kriya where there is a pic and an explication of Frog Pose. If you never tried this pose, start gently according to what your body can do now, and slowly increasing the numebr of the repetitions. Fateh Dharma!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Sat Nam, Ana, I looked at the video and note that is is incorrect, and in fact, there is a comment posted on the site that the heels should be touching. I searched and found the following link for, what I believe, instructions on the correct way to do frog pose: http://anmolmehta.com/blog/2008/02/26/kundalini-yoga-exercise-legs/ I suggest looking on www.kriteachings.com as well.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 In addition to moving slowly building repetitions with this exercise, be aware of the alignment and movement in the bones of the legs, hips and spine. Watch the ankles and see that they do not pronate (turn inward) and that the knees stay wide apart. Allow your body to lean into the arms and fingertips on the floor. Move slowly and deliberately feeling and seeing, in your minds eye, how all the components of your beautiful healing bodies move in the posture. Your breath should be very deep and powerful filling your body with prana and you balance energies of the lower chakras. It might be really great to find a teacher if there is one near you.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 this is a beautiful description (below)to follow for doing frog pose... I would like to add that when you straighten your legs and stretching, you stay on the balls of your feet, in other words...our heels never touch the ground.Sat Nam ~ Jiwan Shakti Kaur --- On Mon, 7/14/08, Betty Emadi <bjemadi wrote: I looked at the video and note that is is incorrect, and in fact, there is a comment posted on the site that the heels should be touching.
