Caring for Your Knees – Yoga for Knee Pain & Strength

Your knee is caught in the middle. Whatever your ankle and hip are up to, your knee has to deal with it. And when your thighs aren’t quite pulling their weight, it often ends up carrying more than its share.

So when a knee grumbles on a steep descent, at the end of a long walk or after a morning kneeling in the garden, the knee itself is only part of the story.

This yoga for knees class looks at the bigger picture. You start on the floor with small, curious movements and explore how your hips, thighs and ankles shape what happens at your knees. Then you gradually add weight, balance and strength. Along the way you’ll get to know the muscle that quietly keeps your kneecap on track, notice how each knee prefers to move, and find out which side needs a little more of your attention.

There are plenty of options and props throughout, including some clever little tricks for making kneeling and folding far more comfortable. Your priority throughout is simply that your knees feel good. If one side is stiffer or wobblier than the other, that’s useful information, not a problem. There are options and padding for tender knees and wrists all the way through.

You finish with a generous, deeply restful Savasana: legs supported, thighs soft, nothing left to do.

Benefits:

Knees that feel more comfortable and better supported in everyday movement
Stronger thighs and glutes, the muscles that help look after your knees
Better kneecap tracking for climbing stairs, stepping up and striding uphill
Freer movement through hips and ankles, so your knees don’t have to compensate
Steadier, more confident balance, with a clear sense of support from the ground up
Release through the front and outer thighs, which so often tug on the knee
Practical ways to make kneeling, sitting and folding comfortable, on the mat and off it
A real understanding of how your legs work as one connected whole

Who Is It For :

Anyone whose knees speak up on stairs, hills or the last mile of a long walk
Walkers, runners, cyclists and gardeners who want to keep doing what they love
Anyone who finds kneeling or deep knee bends uncomfortable and would like to find a way in
Yoga practitioners curious about how knees, hips and ankles work together
Anyone wanting to build leg strength in a thoughtful, unhurried way
Suitable for all levels

What to Expect:

Slow, curious movement that begins lying down, exploring how your hips and thighs guide the knee, then moves through kneeling to standing
Strength work you’ll feel in your thighs and glutes to support steady tracking, balanced with plenty of ease
Balance work you can keep small or take further
A few clever tricks with everyday props that make kneeling and folding far more comfortable
A long, fully supported Savasana to finish

Closing Thought:

Your knees take you everywhere you want to go. Give them an hour of the attention they deserve, and feel the difference next time you take the stairs two at a time, stride up the hill or kneel down in the garden.

Alternative, if you’d like something shorter: Strong, comfortable knees don’t happen by accident. This is where they start.
