Do your knees hurt all the time? Or do you notice the discomfort once you are kneeling on your yoga mat? If so, join Sandy Blaine, author of the popular book Yoga for Healthy Knees (Rodmell Press, 2005), for a yoga practice and discussion that will focus on the care and handling of the knee joint in yoga. In this workshop, we will look at proper alignment of the knees in a variety of basic yoga poses, and learn how to use asana to safely strengthen and stretch the muscles that support the knee joint. We will also discuss some of the basic types of knee dysfunction and how to modify poses to accommodate common knee problems. Sandy teaches this class from her own experience of recovering from knee injuries, which is the basis of the program outlined in her book. This workshop is open to all levels, but some previous yoga experience is recommended. Space is limited and pre-registration is recommended. Workshop Cost: $60, or save $10 if registered 3 days in advance.
