    thanks. for the past few days i haven’t tried to invert my legs, for fear that i may tear something. my instructor says that supta vandrasana will stretch those muscles without hurting the knee. i’ll also try the yin yoga poses as well. is there a good way i can warm up my body at home so that i can do some poses and not hurt my body?

    thank you again,
    namaste

    Honestly, I haven’t done a whole lot over the last few years. There have been a few times where I started running, only two or three miles at most, but those spurts didn’t last too long.

    Both knees hurt when in tree pose and during sitting head to knee pose as well, but only the knee lying to the side. It really only hurts when I turn my feet say 90* in either direction, and it’s only the outside part of the knee. This leads me to believe that the muscle running along the outside of my shin which connects the foot and knee is too tight, but I don’t know what to do about it.

    I’m pretty sure I don’t pronate or supinate, as I don’t have a natural inclination to do so cause I don’t have flat feet or an extremely high arch. I have watched the video, it was very informative and enlightening, but I’m pretty sure it’s not my feet cause I don’t have any back or leg problems aside from the knee issue.

    Thank you for the speedy reply! I hope I’ve given you enough info.
