What We'll Explore
This workshop is designed to methodically address the most common challenges and needs related to knee health. Over the four weeks, we will focus on three core areas:
Knee Straightening (Extension) & Foundation:
Learn the proper engagement of the quadriceps and hamstrings to fully and safely extend the knee.
Understand the relationship between the feet, ankles, and hips in creating a stable base that protects the knee joint.
Knee Flexibility and Range of Motion:
Explore safe and effective techniques to improve flexion (bending) and rotation in the knee joint.
Use props (blocks, straps, blankets) to access deeper stretches and poses without strain.
Knee Pain Relief & Prevention:
Identify common misalignments in basic poses that contribute to knee discomfort.
Develop a personalized set of therapeutic poses and movements to relieve chronic pain and strengthen surrounding musculature for long-term protection.

Experiences occasional knee discomfort or stiffness.
Wants to safely deepen their yoga practice by understanding proper knee tracking and alignment.
