31m
In this mini-workshop, learn about different ways to use alignment and isometrics to find ease in poses that have a reputation for irritating sesnsitive knees. We focus on outer hip stretches (figure 4 and pigeon), thigh stretches (standing and sidelying quad stretch), and talk about ways to make kneeling or kneedown poses more comfortable.
