This video is for people suffering from recent knee surgeries/injuries. This is also a GREAT practice for people with broken wrists/suffering from wrist injuries, who are unable to practice a traditional yoga pose. This 20 minute yoga flow takes all pressure off the hands and knees and allows us to meet our bodies exactly where we're at!
This video represents a deeply personal practice that Lauren engaged in while she was on crutches. She wants to share this practice with the world so that others with similar situations know that yoga is ALWAYS available to any one. With any body. Any Injury. ANY TIME.

Thank you so much!! It is really rare to find a yoga video that understands my knee limitations/pain so I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!! 😍😍😍😍

@MassachusettsBeachDreamer 3 года назад

Thanks. I am 65 but used to be much more active. I had a knee replacement which had a lot of difficulties and then discovered I had to have a kidney removed. Then discovered I had injured 4 disks in my back and my arthritis is giving me fits. I am slowly coming back from all this. I discovered your site and read the comment one person left about this video being the only one that really understood knee injuries. I started your program today, could only go for 5 minutes but it felt good to do even that. Thank you. I am glad you are better.

@MassachusettsBeachDreamer 3 года назад

@@seraph44423 thanks for leaving your comment. I got a knee replacement last Oct. and have had great difficulty with the recovery. So I am trying out this video. I couldn’t do much but it was great.

@kimmcdaniel5322 9 лет назад

The only video for yoga I have found by someone who understands knee pain and restrictions. Thank you, I love yoga

@yogatx 9 лет назад

Kim McDaniel thanks for your kind words, yes Lauren has a special spot in her heart for people who need yoga but may have experienced an injury :D

@MikeyGlazer 6 лет назад

Agree. Found you in a playlist from +YogaWithAdriene and switched over here. Thanks for helping a guy in his backyard in L.A.

@valentinaalvarez6181 9 месяцев назад

I feel you. I also learned that yoga is not for injury recoveries or for loose weight. That might be a tailor made yoga therapy session. People confuse the real purpose of yoga, prepare the body for meditation (alongside a deep life philosophy) but there’s nothing more frustrating when people see their yoga teachers as physiotherapists (or phycologist) and expect that a group class will fix their injuries.

@TrttlyAwzum 7 лет назад

Lauren has helped me do some amazing things in just a matter of days. I've had knee problems/surgeries since childhood that have limited my strength and flexibility. I never thought yoga would be possible with my cranky knees but this video is a fabulous way to start. Lauren, in just five days I have become stronger in my core and legs, and more flexible in all my joints. And I dont feel like a fool losing my balance with some standing poses. Thank you so much.

@geneneyer 9 лет назад

This is also great for alignment. Triangle pose on the floor really forces that "between 2 sheets of glass" posture. Fabulous!

@kelseypoyer7138 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video! I had knee surgery a month ago and it was such a joy to find a video I could do to get back into my practice while my knee is healing!

@shahnaaz6448 5 лет назад

I am currently on crutches for 6weeks after having knee surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus and remove a cyst. I miss yoga terribly as I use to practice yoga 3 times per week. Thank you for this video!! Makes me feel hopeful.

@marlinspike 2 года назад

Thank you for reducing the devastation of a knee injury!

ACL reconstruction recovery here! 2.5 weeks post op and did this today! Fantastic! More please!!! :)))

Awesome routine, gentle, putting no pressure on the knees and wrists, Thank you for helping us in our recovery!

@DancerRaver12 9 лет назад

Just had knee surgery and thought it was the end of yoga for me! Thanks for this vid :)

@feliciatipa7003 2 года назад

Thank you Lauren . Your practice and directions are very helpful .

@JosetteGalligan 9 лет назад

Hi Lauren, thank you so much for our video. I've fractured my knee so this video is keeping moving and sane. Can I make a request for a video to help with shoulder soreness resulting from using crutches. Thanks again, Josette

@Lauren-mh7ch 9 лет назад

I'll definitely keep it in mind next time we film! We do have a few yoga videos for shoulder and neck pain, many of which you can also practice in a chair, so I'd definitely recommend you check a few of those out too!

@marigo_ 7 лет назад

Thank you for this video! I don't have a knee injury per se but I did feel my knees particularly week today and this practiced helped a lot

@KReed-mk4cy 8 лет назад

I have never cared for yoga, even when my knees DID work. I am now 4 years post- bilateral knee replacements and have been desperate to find some stretching exercises that would help my core and keep me flexible (I'm 58.). I found this video and the stretches looked comfortable and helpful and doable. Gave it a go and am sooo happy that I did. THANK YOU! Very nice job.

@KReed-mk4cy 8 лет назад

+Karen Reed PS.... I like the music as well.

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

+Karen Reed So glad this video resonated with you and has brought you some relief! And yes, the musician, Jim Butler, is awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

@elmorlustig9976 4 года назад

This is fantastic! I’ve been searching for that type of workout ever since I had my knee surgery a month ago and so glad I came across this one! Good job x

@sharonloudd6640 7 лет назад

@PrincessSteffeny 6 лет назад

*Surprise and delight* This video just helped me accidentally touch my toes! It’s been years since I last even tried.

@anitadale34 6 лет назад

This is my first time trying Yoga. I have been an athlete for several years and I have always lifted weights and utilized cardio for my workouts. Well, age being what it is and my numerous knee injuries (as well as other injuries) over the years, I found myself in a wheel chair gaining weight. I couldn't stand for longer that 5 minutes and the pain would leave sweat running down my back. So, I had both of my knees replaced. I had an excellent surgeon who did an excellent job. However, now is the painful process of losing weight in my later 50's. Because of my weight and stress (and resulting high blood pressure) my doctor has suggested Yoga. Many times... and many times more. I have now found you. I hope you have more videos for people with knee problems.

@EricaEthington 6 лет назад

Thank you! With the help of a strap I could follow along in a full leg brace with zero bending capability. Highlight of my day.

@andreadudas94 8 лет назад

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Lauren you are brilliant. I had meniscus surgery 5 months ago and truly felt like there was "no place for me in yoga" anymore. Just as you stated. This series of reclined sun salutations, chair pose, wide angle stretch and triangle poses are genius! You brought me back to moving my body again in a yogic way. I love your quote "even if we may not be in our tip top shape there is still so much we can do" That touched my heart and I thank you for that. Namaste

@laurachapman1695 9 лет назад

Totally love the supine Sun Salutation. I work with a lot of seniors, so this would be beneficial for them. Thank you for sharing. Namaste.

@helenowens2091 9 лет назад

I'm a senior, also a fitness instructor, but I have been dealing with a torn meniscus. I'm down to one crutch and transitioning to none. This video was excellent! it allowed me to do several really beneficial moves without risk of re-damaging my knee. Thanks, Lauren!

@abbieince9278 9 лет назад

This yoga video was great! I had knee surgery about two months ago and this is really helping me get back into the groove of things. If you guys are taking video suggestions I would really love to see y'all do a yoga video that works on strengthening the knees and strengthening the muscles that surround the knees to prevent further injury. Maybe some kind of poses that gradually work me in to a gentle squat or a Gentle Bend. Thanks!!

@searchfortheperhaps4570 9 лет назад

That's a great idea! I'll keep it in mind next time we film :)

@autumndelk1771 8 лет назад

@Faith-pv6rw 6 лет назад

Had meniscus surgery and would love to be able to bend my knee again. I am hoping these poses will help.

@DaraDione 7 лет назад

This is a fantastic video - thank you! One problem I've had is even *getting* onto the floor, though. Because of a tibial plateau fracture on my left knee, I had to be non-weight bearing for nearly three months, which also weakened my good knee. And, since I had a severe distal radial fracture in my left arm as well, I still can't put weight on my left hand. Once I can safely get onto the floor, though, I look forward to doing this fabulous sequence. Thanks again!

@issasinterests754 9 лет назад

This video is just what I was looking for...I was in a car accident and my leg movement is limited at the knee. I've been wanting to start a routine doing yoga daily but my injuries limited my workout. This is the perfect solution.

@ChrisulaOrganic1234 8 лет назад

Excellent video! Recovering from knee surgery and I feel I got my workout today! Great pace and I love the modified poses! Great for me to use in the future as a yoga teacher! Many thanks!

@rebeccatroyer2062 9 лет назад

Wow! Thank you! I really did think I would never do yoga again! :) Now I can once more!

@LatianaBlue22 9 лет назад

2nd question- how do we know when us knee injured folks are "ok" to not do the variations? I'm about 8 months past a meniscus microtear, and it's taken almost that much time to get a significant bend in my left knee without significant pain. 0_0 Now, my joint is almost ok with a full bend (cannot wait to be able to do full child's pose!) But sometimes the body is weird and doesn't feel a twinge 'til after practicing. I'll ice to ease any pressure or little swelling.

@yogatx 9 лет назад

Latiana Blue Lauren again - I recommend that you talk to your doctor to make sure that you are cleared for practice! Even years after injury, sometimes my knee still flares up and I just have to be mindful to take a step back and practice safely with modifications sometimes. This allows us to practice what I call the yoga marathon (rather than a full out yoga sprint/causing another injury) and continue practicing for life. Child's pose was definitely the pose I missed most in my practice on crutches! When the knees are twinging in child's pose, I recommend you support the hips with a few blankets or pillows. This takes a lot of the pressure off the knees and reduces the severity of the bend in your knees as well!

@susannenewton2363 8 лет назад

Wonderful video thought my days of Yoga were over !! Please keep good work up really good stretches and postures without straining knees. Can you suggest anymore? I also have gastric reflx

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

+Susanne Newton So glad this helped you! Feel free to check out any of the videos on our channel and see if any resonate with you. You're welcome to check out my complete beginners series, which is also good for just stabilizing and gently engaging with yoga postures, not just for beginners :). Meditation and breathing videos can be great for helping your body relax too, which can in turn help provide relief for upset/gassy tummies and overworked digestive systems. Stress can really mess up our digestion, so really any video you find that can help you reduce your stress should (hopefully!) help your digestion as well! Give some a try and let me know what you think.

@lisamisler2289 9 лет назад

I'd like to see you do a chair yoga video. I have students who can't lie on the floor or sit on their knees. I really liked your video.

@yogatx 9 лет назад

Lisa Misler Lauren here. I think chair yoga is a GREAT idea! Another part of my regular practice that got me through 6 months on crutches :) Will definitely try to incorporate that into my next filming!

@GT-un6mj 5 лет назад

So this was my first yoga practice after blowing my knee ACL and meniscus. Was so tight and sore from NOT doing yoga for 2 weeks. Worse than the knee pain. Almost crying at relief to be back on the mat. Thank you for this emotionally healing start.

@stephgordon7734 9 лет назад

I've had terrible knee pain lately and this gave me hope that I can do yoga again while I deal with my issues. I love that you can do vinyasa while lying down, brilliant. Thank you!

@searchfortheperhaps4570 9 лет назад

+Stephanie Kane Hi Stephanie, Lauren here. I'm so glad this resonated with you! When I was first on crutches, I was devastated! And convinced that I wouldn't be able to do yoga again. These exercises got me through a really dark/tough time so I'm glad I was able to share a little of the hope I received from them with others :). Thanks for watching!

@sunnydaze69 8 лет назад

Thank you sooooo much. I have lots of knee problems (chondromalacia and osteoarthritis) plus I am currently waiting for meniscus repair surgery which was supposed to happen this week but got cancelled. I just did your video. It was safe for my knees and my hips now feel so much looser. THANK YOU! I will be doing your video again and again!

@karenschwartz5602 Год назад

Thank you! I had surgery 2 weeks ago and thought in all ways yoga was out! I wish I found you even 2 weeks ago, my body suffers without it! This has been a life changing moment once again in the art of modifications. I want to become a yoga instructor and this was a great reminder for the future❤

Kym Silva, glad that this video helped ya out! Yeah, Lauren, and actually a few other of us have knee problems too, they're no fun :( Lauren will be glad to hear that you liked it and would like more videos like this because she has been working on a series that is just like this!

@mollyqto 7 лет назад

Thank you this was enlightening and a great gentle yoga session. I can do a lot more with my knee now apart from sit with my knee bent under my body (kneeling) or cross legged. Are there any more videos to help with this?

@sherrygc9779 9 лет назад

Love this video.Great instructor,too. Thank you!I have a hurt knee that is taking a long time to heal so this works great for me.I would love to see you make more videos like this that keep pressure off the knee.Will we see more?Please?

@yogatx 9 лет назад

@heathermecham6708 8 лет назад

Thank you! I have a cyst in my knee and have decided to try to let it heal without surgery. I've tried some other yoga workouts for knee pain that we're okay, but a little too tough for my knee. I think this is perfect for where I am.

@doreenfreeman895 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for posting this. Since I've had so many knee problems I've missed practicing yoga. The only thing I was able to do was Pilates. Its OK, but Ive always enjoyed Yoga the most..

Thanks for the video. I am not a normal practitioner of Yoga but I've been directed to try some rehab/injury Yoga and this was a help. I will definitely continue using this as I recover from my ACL reconstruction and Meniscus tear.

Awesome video, exactly what I've been needing! A torn meniscus has left me pretty unable to perform yoga but i love the adaptations of sun salutations and trikonasana, very easy and beneficial! Keep up these good videos and thanks for sharing. :)

@giuliettamanko7753 9 лет назад

Wow, thank you so much for that amazing video! I am struggling with a knee cartillage inflammation at the moment, and this video helped me to go back to my yoga mat! Also, I find this flow really creative, and it didn't put any pressure on my knee at all! So, again, thanks a lot! :-)

Thank you, you have really helped me get back into yoga after surgery last month. Somehow, the physiotherapy exercises just didn't flow like this routine does.

@yogatx 8 лет назад

+Susan Amy Lauren here- physical therapy is helpful for sure, but for me, adding the concentration on the breath, as we do in yoga, is what makes ALL the difference! Glad to hear it helped you out and good luck with your recovery :)

@cecilia6703 8 лет назад

i really love this video! i have fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis, & chronic tendonitis & on days when my pain level is intense, this is a great way to still get my body moving & engaged. i would love to see the injury-specific language modified to be inclusive of the large number of disabled people like myself for whom our body pain is chronic & has nothing to do with recent/temporary injury/surgery. this may be all the yoga i can manage for the rest of my life, not just a few months, & that's okay!

@yogatx 8 лет назад

+Cecilia Wachter Lauren here - Agree, that's totally okay, Cecilia! And so glad to hear you keep practicing and stay active and healthy :). I just spoke that way because I was teaching from my personal experience with this yoga flow, but I'll keep your suggestions in mind for any future videos :). Thanks for watching!

@ellenvekemans 8 лет назад

This is an amasing video, I had surgery on my kneecap, so I am not allow to bend my knee further than 90° or I am not allowed to put any weight on it (a lot of excerises need weight or bending) but allmost every exercise in this video was possible after my surgery. Thank you for sharing this wonderfull video. If only there were more like this :)

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

+ellen vekemans We'll work on it! :)

@cathybloniarz2300 8 лет назад

I have had bilateral knee replacements so cannot do a lot of poses (table, deep lunges, etc). This is the first video I have found showing modifications. I truly appreciate it and enjoyed learning the modifications. I would like to see more yoga videos that incorporate variations for those that have had joint replacements. Thank you.

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

+Cathy Bloniarz We'll work on it for sure! Thanks for watching and for sharing your kind words :)

@laurynnelson1602 9 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video! I cannot find any other video that helps immediately after knee surgeries. This is my 2nd torn ACL and this time I also had a complex meniscus tear on my left leg. They used the patellar tendon to repair my ACL but took it out of my good knee, so I now have 2 bad knees and only just switched from a walker to crutches a few days ago. This video really helps make me feel like I can still have a yoga practice in my life for the next month while still on crutches. Thank you so much!

@Lauren-mh7ch 9 лет назад

lauryn nelson That sounds so painful, sorry to hear it! Glad this helped. I can't say enough how much this type of practice saved my sanity during my recovery from knee surgery too! Good luck on the recovery and keep practicing. In other news, going to release another yoga for injuries/disability video soon, using chair yoga, that's another GREAT practice for while on crutches/recovering :)

@giuliaferrarotti81 9 лет назад

Dear Lauren thank you so much for sharing, after a motorbike accident this 20 min of yoga are the bright side of my day :) :) One question: why do you exhale through your mouth?

@Lauren-mh7ch 9 лет назад

That's such great news! This practice brought so much joy to my life after my injury, so I'm glad to know others are finding peace in it too. Sometimes I exhale through my mouth because I find that it helps me to focus more on my breathing and release a little bit more stress. Other times it's just because I've gotten into the habit a bit when I teach so my students can hear the breath and remember to breathe deeper themselves :)

@yosef6216 9 лет назад

This was helpful. I was worried I wouldn't be able to practice for a while. Can you suggest some exercises that will strengthen the muscles around the knee? Thank you.

@searchfortheperhaps4570 9 лет назад

Chair pose is GREAT for strengthening the muscles around the knee. Just be sure to ease into it and make the knee alignment your first priority with the knees directly over the toes. Tree pose is another fabulous way to strengthen the legs, just be sure to rest the lifted foot either above or below the standing leg's knee, not directly on the knee! Hope this helps and let me know what you think!

@jenna9300 8 лет назад

Thank you for this video!! My mom has very painful arthritis in her wrists. I found your video for my knees and decided to share it with her. You have inspired her to continue daily yoga routine that allows her to love her body without hurting her wrists. We thank you so much for sharing this low impact yoga experience!

@annemargaret1634 9 лет назад

I was very excited to find this video, as I have not been able to do very much since my surgery. However, I am twelve weeks post full knee replacement surgery and I cannot even get onto the floor. I have been doing the exercises on my bed as best I can but don't feel I am getting the full benefit from the exercises being on such a soft surface, but am still feeling better for them.

@searchfortheperhaps4570 9 лет назад

Anne, this is Lauren. First, let me say you are amazing and it's wonderful to hear how you are modifying this flow for your own body! By simply breathing and moving, with the intention to flow into these poses, you are practicing yoga in a very real and mindful way. You are still stretching and engaging your muscles, even from on your bed, so please don't be too hard on yourself! You could also try my chair yoga video and let me know what you think. Please keep modifying your yoga practice to fit your body and your needs! After all, I'm only a guide, and you are the true and only master of your own body :). Namaste!

@pietervanderhoeven660 8 лет назад

@nadinerogers5653 8 лет назад

I appreciated this a lot as a beginner who has had lots of knee surgeries. I have very loose joints but not so strong muscles. I would love to see a video about how to protect overly loose joints. How do you strengthen the muscles without putting the joints in danger of injury?

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

+Nadine Rogers Hi Nadine! I posted this on another viewer's comment, but thought it might be helpful for you as well, and could provide some options for stabilizing and strengthening your knee joints: Chair pose is GREAT for strengthening the muscles around the knee. Just be sure to ease into it and make the knee alignment your first priority with the knees directly over the toes. Tree pose is another fabulous way to strengthen the legs, just be sure to rest the lifted foot either above or below the standing leg's knee, not directly on the knee!

@TiaraJHairston 8 лет назад

I have to say I got ACL reconstructive surgery last Tuesday, and had my meniscus tear cut away. I started this video on Thursday and couldn't do much involving my right leg. And today, ahhhh exciting moment on recovery journey!! I've been getting increased bend in my knee, but the most struggling part is I haven't been able to lift my heel off the floor with out some sort of assistance since surgery. Yoday I was doing this video and for the first time my leg lifted and as the workout progressed I got it to go straight into the air, and pretty much did the entire practice yaaay!

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

+Tiara Hairston this is awesome to hear! It takes time for our muscles to regain strength and recover, and kudos to YOU for having the patience and perseverance to keep practicing! Hope your knee feels better soon :)

I had meniscus surgery a week ago and this session is so smooth and friendly and shows possible ways to still practice. Namaste

I really enjoyed this video, as this is my first time doing this workout. I have been looking around for knee exercises for pain, do to the fact I have Osteoporosis and I felt every energized afterwards. Thanks very much :)

This looks like a great routine. Great message too! I would add that it would be a good idea to check with your physical therapist , if you have one, before you try it. I want to start today, but at age 67 and nearly five weeks post op I am not sure if I could get on the floor and get back up again. I look forward to getting the green light to do these poses with you!

Absolutely. It is necessary to consult with a doctor or physician before starting any new workout/exercise regiment.

Thank you so much! I love these adaptations! Nursing a knee injury at present and was starting to feel really down that I couldn't do anything active. This has really helped me reconnect to my body and feel more grounded.

So glad to hear it! As I mentioned in another comment as well, this practice brought so much joy to my life at a time I felt crippled. Glad to hear it brings peace to you as well!

Namaste. It has been months of daily pain, swelling, surgery, physical therapy and pure exhaustion! I wish I had found this video a long time ago. Torn meniscus and dislocated patella which has caused firing pain in my hips, swelling down my leg into my ankles. Some days my ankles are so swollen I can not put on (or take off) my shoes. This of course has also caused sleep problems as well. This has brought my spirit down and some days it feels better to just do nothing. I am very active person and the sluggish habits that this injury has caused frighten me. I am finally at the point where I am feeling well enough that I want to exercise on my own again. These exercises are exactly what I need! Thank you. I want to hug you right now!!!!

I'm so glad to hear this! I can say from experience that a dislocated patella suuuucks!! Sorry to hear you're having to go through this too, but glad you find this practice helpful. Also be sure to check out some of our meditation videos, as well as my intro to breathing and chair yoga videos, all of which you can do either on the floor, on a bed or in a chair 😀. And let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for this video. After suffering a plateau tibial fracture 6 mos ago, not only am I rehabbing the knee, but my whole body ACHES with inactivity. I've only done this twice, but am already feeling relief in my back and legs! Thank you! Nicole, Calgary AB

@muriphi89 8 лет назад

That was fantatic! Thank you so much, my knee felt so much better today after this routine and even my fysio therapist agreed that today I was much more flexible and could do much more. I am super stoked...do you have more related knee ingury videos? I had curciate ligament rupture and a meniscus tear in the front knee..so I still walk on crutches and I am only allowed to bend it 90degree.....

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

Hey! Be sure to check out our meditation videos, my intro to breathing and my chair yoga videos, all of which you can do in a chair 😀. Also, feel free to change them up to better support and comfort your knee in any way that feels good and right for YOUR body! Let me know if you have any questions 😀

WOW! Thank you so much! I want more :)

@kathmesser 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I hope you produce more videos for those of us who have suffered knee and ankle injuries. In my case, this helped me pre and post knee surgery. It also helped to improve my mood and encouraged a very active person that even during a difficult time I can continue to do good things for my body.

@robinbrooks3378 9 лет назад

I've been running for a while and have had some knee pain. I heard that yoga would be good for me, but it was hurting too. I really enjoyed doing this today because during and after, I was not in pain. Thank you. You are so peaceful, you made me so calm!

@fabeecaramelo 7 лет назад

i would love to see more videos like this and gain flexibility and strenght again in my knee after an arthroscopy surgery. I loved it! Thank you so much! Now it will feel easier to recover (:

@abigailanthony4744 8 лет назад

Awesome flow! I've been super bummed as I blew my ACL several weeks ago and have been pretty sedentary as I prep for surgery, other than leg lifts etc.. I was blown away that I got all of the same feelings and muscle activation as a standing practice, but no pain to my grapefruit knee! I'll be sharing this with my Physical Therapist so she can recommend it to other knee patients. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

@Lauren-mh7ch 8 лет назад

+Abigail Anthony So glad to hear this and thanks so much for sharing! This style of practice was a lifesaver to me after my knee surgery a few years ago so I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to share it with others. Thanks for watching and feel better soon!
