5 Home Remedy Yoga Tips To Relieve Knee Pain

2. Warm-up

Often knee pain is a result of our hips lacking flexibility. Therefore, warming up your hips joints prior to beginning your practice is essential for maintaining good knee health. Your knees may hurt in cat/cow or various lunges, and other poses where one knee is on the floor. Your knee caps(patellas), have no padding, and a hard floor offers virtually no support for aching knees.

3. Use Your Feet

Paying attention to where and how you place your feet is crucial for knee care. Place your feet with care, following instruction to keep the muscles in your feet engaged in your practice, whether standing on them, sitting on them, or when they are in the air. Simply lifting and spreading your toes in standing poses engages the muscles in your lower legs and, in turn, protects the ligaments in your knees. Flexing the feet and engaging all toes, especially the baby toe, is a great way to protect your knee joint. This is a really good yoga mat for proper alignment in poses especially if you practice at home.
