    The new studio specializes in Bikram. Do you think I would have knee issues from this type? I really liked the rigor of the vinyasa flow. Do you think Bikram will give the same results since the poses tend to be the same each class and held for longer. I did Bikram once. Are there certain poses you think I should avoid? The doctor only mentioned not lunging but I would imagine twisting wouldn’t be a good idea either. Thanks!!

    Thank you for your reply! My doctor recommended to not do low lunges specifically but said I shouldn’t have to give up yoga altogether since I love it so much. He recommended cycling and swimming and physical therapy. I tried taking the vinyasa class and only lunging high and avoiding the poses that hurt my knee to begin with (pigeon) but I still had the numbness and swelling. I would consider a different type of hot yoga however in my area there are not many others offered. Hot hatha just came to my area. Not sure if that is like Bikram or not. What other types would you recommend?
