I just tried this yoga for knee pain workout - here’s what happened Meffan then invites you to close your eyes and focus on your breath - lovely. If this is uncomfortable for your back, you can lie down. The yoga for knee pain workout finishes with a seated forward fold, legs outstretched. Throughout the class, you can expect a similar series of strengthening exercises (like Goddess pose, similar to a sumo squat), followed by shorter bursts of pulses and softer, lengthening stretches. Meffan adds pedals through the heels before cycling through some balances to challenge your core stabilizing muscles (including your glutes) and general lower body strengthening this involves moving through a series of warrior III, (and again) adding some pulses into the mix. Not only does this activate the backs of your legs, but it also offers a gentle stretch through your upper back and shoulders, too. Meffan then guides you to a tabletop position, cueing you to kick your leg back for a gentle calf and hamstring stretch before generating heat using Pilates-Esque glute pulses. It’s the perfect opportunity to slow your breathing and connect breath and body (a key yogic principle).


If you struggle to bring your bum to heels, you can place a yoga accessory or cushion underneath, then rest your forehead on the floor. This routine starts as many yoga classes do - in a child’s pose.
