My problem is my knees have become bruised after the class...Does anybody know if anybody makes "yoga inspired" knee pads? And are knee pads a good idea at the beginning?</p> http://yoga-stretch-and-tell-group.fitsugar.com/Beginner-Yoga-KneesOUCH-2399248#comment yoga knees blog yoga mat Health & Fitness beginner yoga Wed, 22 Oct 2008 13:54:19 -0700 fabjobgirl http://yoga-stretch-and-tell-group.fitsugar.com/Beginner-Yoga-KneesOUCH-2399248 http://yoga-stretch-and-tell-group.fitsugar.com/Advice-my-knees-please-248211 <a href="http://yoga-stretch-and-tell-group.fitsugar.com/Advice-my-knees-please-248211"></a><p>My bad knees and I have been taking yoga for a few months now, once a week. It's a vinyasa class with all levels of skill accommodated. While the rest of my body has felt fantastic, my knees have begun to feel a bit sore, loose and wobbly lately. I get occasional tweaks of pain now and then from normal activities. My question is: are there certain yoga poses I should avoid, and/or seek out because of my knees? I'm worried about doing major damage, but would really hate to give up yoga.</p> <p>Any advice or suggestions?</p> http://yoga-stretch-and-tell-group.fitsugar.com/Advice-my-knees-please-248211#comment yoga injury knees blog Health & Fitness Wed, 09 May 2007 09:45:20 -0700 Madisonian http://yoga-stretch-and-tell-group.fitsugar.com/Advice-my-knees-please-248211
