Yoga Therapeutics for Your Knees and Hips with Sherry Brourman

Our knees are:
• shock-absorbers when we land 
• springboards when we jump 
• transmitters when we are still, and 
• propellers when step forward 

All of these collude as beautiful links in any or all of these ways for balance postures. This class is designed to help you understand why your knees ache, specific diagnoses, and various degrees of each. We’ll discuss ‘high signs’ with knees, and ways to prevent any of further discomforts. We’ll work with ways that ankles and hips contribute to achy knees and modifications inside of postures to prevent these. And finally, we’ll look at how new patterns can be strengthened both on and off the mat.
