Anatomy of Yoga: Knees

With QR codes for visualizing poses and exercises
The knee is the largest joint in the human body. It is a key node connecting two major bones of the leg—the femur and the tibia.
Many yoga poses, promoting the development of flexibility... and strength, can significantly benefit the health of the knees. However, sometimes a lack of information leads to excessive loads which can harm the knee joints, causing strain, and the ligaments can suffer from sprains.

* What degree of comfort while performing asanas indicates that they are indeed beneficial for the knees?
* What preparatory exercises can help avoid straining the ligaments, tendons, and menisci?
* What warning signals from the body should one be able to catch in time and interpret correctly?
* What is our active role in studying the benefits and harms of yoga for the knees?
This guide discusses how joint cartilage is structured, what synovial fluid is, where the menisci, ligaments, and muscles are located... And importantly, it explains how all these elements should interact to ensure the correct, balanced position of each knee while performing various asanas. A detailed analysis of different yoga poses is provided, along with recommendations for preparation, adaptation, and correction.
The book will help readers take care of their knees, practicing yoga more consciously and safely.
