Yoga For Knee Pain Relief | Knee Strengthening Yoga Sequence (25-min)

Strengthen and heal your knees with this yoga for knee pain sequence. Works to aid and prevent knee pain, runners knee, and patella tendon soreness. Remember, the knees are a joint. In this yoga sequence, we work strengthen the muscles that surround our knees, which will over time help aid knee pain relief. In addition to doing these yoga exercises to strengthen and stabilize the knees, I'm going to walk you through the pitfall poses for the knees that you might be inadvertently twerking and hurting the knee without realizing it.

I hope this video helps you if you have:
Runners knee
Patella tendon soreness
Patellofemoral syndrome
Patellofemoral syndrome

Please remember to consult a doctor before beginning any new exercise program and listen to your body always.

Thank you for watching this yoga for knee pain relief video!

Hi Brett, I just wanted to post that this routine really helped my injured knee. I’m a 50-year-old guy and I keep myself fit, but after starting a high intensity interval training routine, my knee became very painful and inflamed to the point where I couldn’t walk without severe pain and limping. I couldn’t sleep or put any pressure on it. But I did apply rest, cold packs, and elevation.

Before making an appointment with the doc, I decided to do a search and see if there was a yoga routine focused on painful knees; your’s was the first to pop up in the search.

I’ve flirted with yoga over the years, but I wouldn’t say I’m a yoga person. However, I attempted this routine very gingerly and I was amazed at the results after doing this 4-5 times a week.

I received a lot of relief just after the first week. But I continued for another three weeks, and now I can walk and jog without any pain whatsoever. I’m still continuing to test running and jumping but the progress is amazing.

Your spirit really comes through in your videos. Thanks!

This is an amazing yoga sequence . I do this 4-5 times a week and have seen noticeable improvement

Brett - your videos have changed my life in so many positive ways. I've recently developed some knee pain after increasing my running distance and frequency. No joke, I could hardly walk down stairs a few days ago because I was in so much pain. I spent the weekend icing it, taking some ibuprofen, etc., and resting it. It still hurt. Then, based on my great luck with your other videos, I decided to see if you have any for knee pain and found this one. Oh my gosh . . . could hardly believe how much better I felt after the sequence. I'm not completely healed yet, but I'm going to keep coming back to this one, because I think it really helps.

I work 14-15 hour shifts and at one time my knees were hurting so bad, that I almost couldn't walk. I started doing these and with time I have no pain after working even 4 days straight. Thank you, your channel is real blessing for me. ^^

This yoga sequence is not meant for people who have existing knee arthritis, ailments or injuries as it places too much pressure on your knees. My right knee has arthritis and I cannot do these poses. Do you have a sequence for those of us who have knee arthritis?

[margaretmajorack]

I certainly appreciate this class and how you explain everything clearly in terms of the alignment and the connections between alignment and muscles used. This has already helped me see where I need to get my knees into a better situation.

Thank you for this video. I’ve been coming back to this video for the last two years when I need to strengthen my muscles again.

A common thing during yoga practice I have seen is that they recommended the chair pose for knee help but then they also say squat down even further and actually squatting down even further can be bad on the knee what you do is actually only squat down to the point you feel it in your glutes and not your knees.

I was just diagnosed with runners knee recently and was looking for alternatives to reduce it. This session was tough but it really worked. I will do it 4 - 5 times a week. Thanks a lot.

Hi Brett!
This sequence is amazing. Your teaching is at a level I aspire to be at as a newly certified instructor! Thank you so much for sharing this for free to the world ❤️ Your service is helping many!

[ahimsacitta]

This is exactly what I needed! I didn’t realize how I’d been causing damage to my knees by lunging w/ my feet too close together. I sincerely appreciate the coaching ❤️

[barbaravananddanaarmstrong]

Thank you! Wow, so informative! I'm feeling every muscle around my knees after doing it, and it feels so right. I just wish that I found this routine earlier! I'll definitely be returning to this often to continue to strengthen those muscles to avoid knee issues in the future! Thank you ~Barbara

Hi Brett I am currently suffering from Patella Tendonitis and this really is helping. The problem came long after using my right leg for three years while my Left ACL, Posterior and Medial Meniscus where healing just with physio and as soon as my right knee Patella gave in, my first line of working on it was a brace.

[elizabethfritzler]

Holding chair pose and wall sits were helpful for strengthening the muscles around the knee, but for someone with a torn ACL, putting my shin against the wall and bending/straightening in crescent lunge produced too much pressure and pain on the injured side. I think dancer's pose or flamingo would have been just as effective for a quad stretch without having to put pressure on the knee.

[jennymontague]

This was a bit painful as my knees are weak from surgeries.for miniscus ters. I walk a mile 5 days a week, but I need to strengthen the muscles around my. Excellent! Needed this. Hope I can find it again. Thanks.

[marilizeblignaut]

I've just come back into my yoga practice, 6 months postpartum, and started experiencing knee pain after the second week. It seems counterintuitive to work the knee when its inflamed, but actually, it really felt good and was super informative too. I now know that I need to be gentler on myself, example warrior 1, until I regain my range of mobility. Thanks! 🙏📿👶

[breezygiggle]

I wouldn't recommend this video for folks who have lots of knee pain, especially pain on the outside of the knee. 5 or so min are dedicated to stretches from a kneeling position and could potentially be very painful.

[guitar]

Having ads show up in the middle of the practice was really distracting and disorienting. I stopped the video after the first midroll ad and will not be returning to Brett's videos. You can turn this off! I hope the extra couple cents you made was worth it!

[josswapna]

Hi.. I have knee bursitis and Osteoptis... Is it good to perform this.. Please advice

[JohnnyHobbes]

I'm a few months out from meniscus repair surgery. Can you have the modified positions for us who may need modified positions. Like for example I can't put my knee on the floor yet.
