Episode 97:  WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH KNEE PAIN IN YOUR YOGA CLASSES?

In this second episode of our pain-focused series, I'll explore what it really means to support students with sensitive knees across a few different yoga class formats.

I’ll discuss how weight-bearing in vinyas, alignment expectations in Iyengar, deep/long holds in yin, and prop use in restorative can either aggravate or alleviate a student's knee discomfort. You’ll learn why:

  • knee pain is rarely just about the knees themselves
  • how the hips and ankles influence knee health, and
  • how nervous system sensitivity can make even “simple” poses feel unsafe for a student.

Most importantly, this episode gives you solutions. You’ll walk away with ideas for variations that make yoga accessible without isolating students or making them feel "less than." And you’ll learn how language, sequencing, and your compassion can empower your students to trust their bodies and their practice, especially while they're dealing with chronic pain or injuries.
