Hi Sam
I guess I have to ask you some questions!
It’s great you are finding improvements in your hips. It seems you are more flexible or at least more easy in that area. It is possible that what you’re doing is causing a knock-on effect in other parts of your body because of obvious connections. It’s not necessary alarm-bell ringing stuff in so far as damage (I can’t tell) but there is certainly the possibility that the process of balancing your hips is affecting your knees and spine and so on and so forth.
You could examine how you connect with the earth and take it upwards from there. Stuff like whether you have flat feet, if you pronate, or if you have other problems with your feet could be significant. Perhaps you could tell me what poses you feel the problem with your knees. Is it that they are more tight now in certain poses or in all poses? Check the free videos for the one called Great Posture From The Ground Up
In floor bow the work should be with your thighs and your feet primarily. With our focus on various parts of the body (unable to have our attention on everything) sometimes we use it in a less effective way. At what point did you knees twinge?
Flower: It would probably be a good idea to see if you can simply kneel with your legs together and hips on your heels. This is very balancing and restorative. Are you able to? I guess to it sounds as though you need to rebuild strength in your quadriceps.
Namaste
