Yoga movements

Liller

Hi everyone

I'm new here and would really like some yoga 🧘‍♀️ poses to do at home for my left hip and knee so I can get moving in the morning and also some good pain killers that won't be too harmful on other parts of my body.

Sorry I know it's large and may be a big ask but I would like to be able to get out, and sit in a chair with less pain.

Thank you everyone

Hi @Liller, I'm new here too!

I do yoga regularly as I find almost instant relief from pain and stiffness.

Full disclosure - I've never been to a class just followed YouTube videos but it seems to have worked so far!

I follow this girls videos I think they're fantastic, have a look through her vids there's something for every level. For hip pain I've found seated stretches to be pretty good - again no expert just thought I'd share what works for me.

Hope this helps, good luck 💪🏻

You might be able to join some of the Versus Arthritis online classes. You'd know the exercises are definitely safe for Arthritis then.

Take care
