Slow Flow: Focus on Knees
Guy helps you bring intentionality and purpose to your movements in this slow flow class with a focus on knees. Learn to tune into subtle sensations and make small adjustments that will keep your knees safe and stable in bent or straight legged poses. Note: you may want a folded blanket or other soft support for the kneeling poses. Check out some of Guy's other slow flow classes like Slow Flow: Seated Practice, or Slow Flow: Focus on Transitions. Oh, and please don't take Guy's photochromic lenses personally. He's only hiding from the sun, not you!

I really enjoyed that lesson, thank you. I love the chimes and the combination of some martial art movements. I look forward to the rest of the challenge.
Thanks Guy,
I was happy to see this practice as I tweaked my knee somehow during a practice or weight trng.
Guy made this slow and methodical which was wonderful so I could listen to the knee / my body. He incorporated some Tai Chi (or so I believe) which was lovely with the movement. As always, Guy provided a slower paced practice that is really nice for any level of yogi.
For the past 8 weeks I have been experiencing tender and sensitive knee issues throughout my day. I do yoga 5 to 6 times a week (for one hour) and have been doing so since June 2019. Before this date, I was doing yoga once a week for an hour but retirement has now given me more time. I think I might be overdoing it and getting these knee issues as a result. I have read several tips and tricks to make sure your knees are aligned however my knees act up when I am putting pressure on one knee (for example all the warrior poses and variations of same). For the past few days I have been doing my own practice avoiding these poses to try and give me knees a rest and I think it is working.
Melissa taught me some good tricks will I was in Chacala and I am using these, but the sensitivity continues.
Can a person do too much yoga? Am I right in avoiding some knee work until me knees heal.
I have been runner, although only on tails, for about 20 years, but I'm not a fantastic - just once or twice a week for 5 to 7 kms. I also hike and do aqua-fit.
Right now I'm just sticking with my yoga as it has been -40 here in Yukon for the past few days.
Any advice or similar experiences would be most helpful.
