Description

In this episode, I explore knee health and talk about common concerns regarding knee pain in yoga practice. I maintain that knees are resilient, not fragile, and I highlight the importance of considering the whole body—especially the foot, hip, and breath—when addressing knee issues. I encourage a holistic, integrated approach to movement, focusing on healing rather than just symptom management.
