I've been really feeling called to better understand & utilize this posture more so thank you so much for this video. As someone who's had knee surgery & knee issues long before starting yoga, it's wonderful to see how to honor my body most in this surprisingly difficult posture. THANK YOU Love & Abundance <3

In reply to Malgorzata Kremer-van der Kamp. Hello, Depends on the the pose but,you should avoid for a few months poses like chaturanga dandasana & upward facing dog, try cobra instead, a great thing you can do is using a yoga wedge, the narrow side facing you,and press the heels of your hands on the wedge, maybe your fingers will be outside of the wedge but that's fine because you won't put weight on them while recovering.Also I would avoid plank pose and would rather take half plank, with knees on the floor.The wedge will work like magic in case of wrists and hands injury. Yoga should never hurt.Take care.

Yes, I would avoid this pose if I had a knee injury,
I would also avoid poses like pigeon (Kapotasana), until you are fully recovered,
This pose can take months and months to master even when you are healthy,
gradually you can take the pose with the help of props, starting with one or two blocs under
your buttocks and by placing a blanket under your knees; actually in case of knee injury, it is
highly recommended to put a blanket under your knees in ANY pose where knees are on
the floor (virsana, table pose..) , swimming is gentle on your joints and muscles and will
help to recover and strengthen your knees.

Hello,
I don't know where to put my question so I try here.
I made kind of "splits" with my fingers yesterday and can't use my right hand. My little finger is not broken but I suppose something is wrong with the joint capsule. How am I to do yoga?
Yes, I will see a doctor today.
I hope somebody can give me a clue. Can't imagine being without yoga.

I have a 'slight' tear in my left meniscus & have been advised to skip hero pose ... Would you agree with that recommendation ... I am in the process of doing physio to strengthen my knees ... Thanks A ... Love my home practice with Yoga With Adriene xo

Loved this! I am capable of doing the more traditional hero pose without the props, so that's what I usually do. However, learning to use the props was lovely and gave the pose a much more restorative slant, which is my favourite kind of yoga. I'll definitely be doing this pose more often with props. 🙂
