A yoga practice can be wonderful both physically and mentally, but only if your body is capable of performing the poses. Many people, because of our sedentary lifestyle, are taking a body that is imbalanced posturally and incapable of performing many of the poses correctly. This not only makes yoga difficult and not enjoyable, but can lead to injury and chronic pain issues. The video below takes you through a series of pre-yoga and post-yoga sequences that are designed to balance your body's posture, restore function, and prepare your body for the demands of yoga. If you regularly practice yoga, at home or at a yoga studio, do this routine daily for the next week and see how it changes your yoga practice and how you feel all day long.

This was my new menu for a week and I absolutely loved how my body responded! I gave it to my yoga students during class as well. I loved it.

Hi Diane, How strong your knees feel, since your knees are just a joint, is really about how strong and functional your feet, lower legs, thighs, and hips are. When knees feel weak or unstable it is usually a combination of the feet, ankles, knees, and hips not being aligned properly as the primary problem. After your joints are aligned correctly, building up strength and function in your entire leg will increase stability and the feeling of strength in your knees.
