I have been doing hot yoga for several years and love it! I sustained a tibial plateau fracture due to a skiing accident and now cannot put any weight on my injured leg for 8-12 weeks. Very frustrating. I do not want to stop doing hot yoga. Does anybody have experience with doing hot yoga with thistype of an injury. I recognize I cannot do the standing series as I would have to put weight on my injured leg but can do a number of the poses in the second half of the series, I think. If not, is it worth just sitting through class for the heat if I cannot do the poses? Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nora

Would you confirm for me please whether it is simply that you are not supposed to put weight on the fracture or if it is also that you are not supposed to do exercises that could ‘pull the fracture site apart’ by muscular action?

How are you managing walking at the moment?

I definitely have tips for doing yoga in the room when you can use your healing leg even if it’s 2 legs without the ability to stand solely on one.

Whether you can do the floor series depends on my first concerns.

Looking forward to your response

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
