Yoga Sutra 1.16 heyam dukha anagatam
Pains that are yet to come can be and are to be avoided.
New students welcome.
Knees
Please see Class Schedule and brochure for current course dates.
Pain and discomfort in the knees in the immediate area may also lead to misalignment in other areas of the body. Maintaining strong and flexible knees through Iyengar Yoga asana is important for the balance of the body’s anatomical structure and physiological functions.
This class will address how to calm down knee inflammation and pain from tendon, ligament, and meniscus tears, cartilage issues, patella tracking disorders, osteoarthritis, Baker’s cysts, and general misalignment of the knees. We will also learn how to adapt poses that tend to aggravate the knees.
Ideally students should have: 1-2 sticky mats, 2-4 yoga blankets, 2-6 yoga straps, sand bags or 25# plate weights. A bolster or other items can substitute as a weight. We will work with whatever props you have available.
Students in C-U may purchase props and books from IYCU through contact free pick up. Copies of Iyengar Yoga Asana Alternatives: the Knees is not required but is also available from loisteinberg.com.
