This video will guide through a sequence designed to gently take your knees throughout a wide range of motion in order to distribute synovial fluid over the surface of the cartilage that caps the bones.

In fact, the areas of the joint surfaces that are rarely used because they are outside the normal range of movement fail to get the nutrients they need and over time tend to degenerate, an example of “use it or lose it”.

So if you care for your knees, this yoga sequence combines some exercises to increase the strength & flexibility of the spine, improve structural alignment and keep your knees healthy and active!
