Sequence to relief knee pain
The sequence is based on a program developed by B.K.S. Iyengar for the relief of knee pain (as described in his book Yoga for Sports, pages 90–91).
The sequence was presented and practised by Julio Dieguez Papi, a martial artist as well as yoga practitioner and teacher, who is also the model in her drawing.

(Please note that these sequences are recommended to be done only under the supervision of a suitably qualified Iyengar yoga teacher after consultation with your medical practitioner).

When you're on holiday and you get an unexpected message from a student who started his yoga journey from a taster session in January this year:

Just thought I'd tell you...... I'm on the Isle of Mull this week and yesterday climbed a big mountain in very poor weather (why?, I hear you ask). Normally this would have unwelcome physical repercussions for some time after but I feel pretty good today. Can't help thinking yoga must be helping 😊😊

Zoom yoga continues but trying different layout -so living room can feel like a living room and a yoga studio! Not just a yoga studio with a bit of living possible!

Men's Health week and here are some comments from men who come to the classes:

I love my yoga! It's really helping with my strength and flexibility. It's also amazing for my mental health as yoga helps me be completely focussed on what I am doing, which is a rare treat in a busy world. I just wish I'd found it in my 30s or 40s rather than 15 years later!

And:
I can see the difference in putting my socks on-so much easier since I started yoga in January.

Anymore?
Another comment from a regular male attendee- Oh yes, to bend and stretch physically.

So, your credit card remains, and your finances remain solid/stiff/strong
I take that last comment to mean your body remains firm and legs/arms/muscles/tendons etc remain strong.

Well a good few of us have achieved a 7 day challenge of doing yoga home practice everyday for roughly 30 minutes and raised £360 for the British Legion in memory of Jonny Brockhouse.
Some great comments of how people have found it. And maybe some practice will continue...

Thanks everyone who joined in.
