Episode #31: How to Avoid Knee Injuries in Yoga - a podcast by The Rat Race Revolution Podcast
from 2021-04-14T00:21:08
Our knees are under-appreciated in life.
We typically don’t think too much about them until they become a problem. Depending on what your life has looked like, or what kind of activity you’ve gotten into throughout your life, you may have knees that are feeling older than you are!
Or maybe that’s just me (Michael)!
Either way, the knees are super important and require a lot of TLC to make sure they can continue to carry us around this beautiful world.
When it comes to yoga practice, our knees can be easily ignored and overlooked, resulting in a gradual breakdown of stability and structure.
Nobody wants that.
With a little self-awareness and a sprinkle of anatomy knowledge, you can make a major impact in the progression of life for your knees and for those of the students that attend your classes.

In this episode, Michael breaks down the essential “need-to-knows” about protecting the knees during yoga practice and how we as teachers can help to facilitate that injury prevention through simple guidance of cues, reminders, and encouragement.
Not only will it protect you and your students, but your students will sense the level of care and caution that you hold within your classes and they will respect you and want to continue to attend your classes.
