Community and Connection: Knees and Hips

Desiree Rumbaugh & Michelle Marchildon

Fearless After Fifty, Chapter Three.

Human beings are not meant to live in isolation, and yet social disconnectedness is a problem in present-day society. Yoga can counteract the negative effects of isolation and build community in group practice. Our bodies are also a way to see ourselves as part of a connected whole.

In this video, we work with the knees and hips so our joints are connected to the “whole community” of the body. Exercises teach the concept of "shins in" and "thighs out," as well as "shins forward" and "thighs back." We work to create length and resilience in the calf muscles, and strength above the knee in the VMO muscle. Poses include Warrior 2, Downward Facing Dog Pose, Side Angle Pose (Parsvakonasana), Triangle (Trikonasana), Sitting Head to Knee Pose (Janusirsasana), Low Lunge Pose (Anjaneyasana), and a variation of Cowface Pose (Gomukasana). Approximately 30 minutes; This class is mostly a demonstration of poses with detailed alignment for you to practice.

I ve been having trouble with knee pain and clicky knees.
After following this instruction I found the knee pain was abscent for the whole day!
Also my back and IT Band pain reduced signigantly.
I will be continuing!

Third day of workshopping with you two and I am learning SO much! A key point for me today was hip to ankle rather than ankle to hip when bending back knee in. Want to share this video with friends who have knee issues and I am definitely in the market for a good quality yoga blanket. I love the way you are both emphasising the importance of props rather than suggesting they migh be used if you are not quite good enough to do without. The video making in these is really good at helping focus on the points you are making. Thank you both!
