have a question
Hi All,


Last year I had an accident and dislocated my knee (patella) and had 2 operations since now. My knee is getting better now, but not sure If I can start again to yoga.

I believe that it won't cause a problem if I start again. But which asanas I shouln't try? Any idea?

btw, love the website!

Re:have a question
Hi lethe,

I would start by focusing on building strength around your knees by using standing poses, especially ones with lunges (Warrior type poses). I would avoid any poses that put pressure on your knees (like camel) and would avoid hip openers with bent knees (like bound angle and pigeon).
Namaste,
Timothy

Yogic Wisdom
Whether things get better or worse depends to a considerable extent on our own actions. The recommendation of a yoga practice follows the principle that through practice we can learn to stay present in every moment, and thereby achieve much that we were previously incapable of.

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
