Thank you Kathy! I appreciate this video so much. I am 74 years old and study Iyengar in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It has been very helpful to me; and I'm always looking for more ideas because of history of joint issues stemming from birth. It's very generous of you to share your gifts.
Hi Joan, lovely to hear from you. I am happy it helped you to practice safely. Look at some of the other classes for standing poses and practice with this attention. Little bit by little bit the body starts to get where it needs to work or be supported and more balanced. Namaste

That's great, happy you found this class, it was for you! Actually we all need to be aware and make space, observe too much tension and over-doing. Then practicing ways to modify while developing the sensitivity to be in life safely.
Hello Kathy - I am happy I was able to dig this video out. As someone with knee arthritis (discovered last year) - and a yogi for several years - I now need tips on modifying my practice (Hatha and Ashtanga previously ). I realise Iyengar shows the way, with props and minimal stress on knees. The upavishta and baddhakona above were wonderful! Can I request a video on an Iyengar set for those with knee arthritis? I for one have been advised not to fold my knees at all, even in sukhasana. No vajrasana. Care in standing poses like warriors and triangle, straight and revolved. Can you suggest maybe 8-10-12 poses someone like me could make my own daily practice now? That way I continue doing yoga while not putting pressure on my knees - and begin to heal too!
Hi Avi, thanks for your note. Sorry to hear about your knees. I have made a not for another class to address your knee challenge. In the meantime, try: Adding a block or two under the front foot for standing poses. Standing poses in the chair, Virabhadrasana 111 Use the wall for balancing support. I.e. ardha Chandrasana, prassarita padottasana. Do lots of upavista, parsva upavista, parvritta upa vista konasana Start with those and see how you go. 🙏🏻
Good evening madam I have a small request text coming in way of video please adjust it should be sidethis pen drive is extremely working which is getting the external rotation because it would just accept the war in the back for re and then pressing enter the world in Arlington over is going to the world you can also take the hand down ok so coming from Ooty to tanot can also have the block there and their heads up if you needed to finish taking your arm over to the worm eating nuts that competed in the name of the listing of the neck and and then as you come down not leaning on the name with time
important to focus on poses that help to strengthen the muscles around the knee joint and improve knee alignment. Poses such as Supta Padangusthasana, Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana, and Salambasana can help strengthen the legs and improve knee alignment. Mini squats with a chair behind are also beneficial for building strength in the quadriceps without putting too much pressure on the knees. Leg raises in Urdhva Prassarita Padasana and Supta Padangustasana can also be helpful for targeting the quads, glutes, and hamstrings. In addition to these targeted poses, it's also important to incorporate stretches that help to lengthen and loosen the hamstrings. Tight hamstrings can contribute to knee pain and discomfort, so poses that help to stretch and lengthen the hamstrings can be beneficial. Examples of poses that target the hamstrings include Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold), Janu Sirsasana (Head-to-Knee Forward Bend), and Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose). Strengthening the muscles around the knee joint, including the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings, can help support proper alignment of the joint, improve flexibility, and alleviate tension on the knee joint. It's important to avoid high-impact activities such as jumping, sun salutations, and running until the muscles around the knee joint are strong enough to support the demands of the activity. Additionally, always listen to your body and modify poses as needed to prevent further strain on the knee joint. If you have a teacher in your area seek them out to make sure you are getting the help needed. By incorporating these targeted poses and modifications into a regular yoga practice, you can improve your strength, flexibility, and overall quality of life. With time and consistent practice, the muscles around the knee joint can strengthen and support proper alignment of the joint, reducing pain and discomfort associated with chondromalacia patella. Find these poses in quite a few of the videos. May I ask how you developed this condition? Was it from overuse, or underuse?
David, You must work with your body and your condition. Important to take time with the knees. Make space and give time to line up properly. Observe the sensations modifying when needed. After continuous practice adjust the support and see if it’s time to reduce support. Enjoy. 🙏🏻

This is the True Yoga.
Hi Karen, always be present with what you feel and adjust. Stay safe and enjoy. 🙏🏻
Very liberating for the chest, knees and hips- bravo
Knees are delicate when the needed strengh to stabilize is not built up. As you say our knees affect the entire body. 🤗

I only use one layer of blankets and use a higher fuller bolster. Now I know the reason why I cannot land my buttock on my claves.
