Do you have problems with your knees otherwise, or is it only triggered when you try to do saddle?

I can imagine this would be a tough one... and we don't have much to offer in the way of modifications within the yin context... but eagle arms can give a similar stretch, or simply hugging yourself!

It's definitely not everyone's favorite pose. Does it help at all to put yoga blocks under your hands?

LaTisca Henderson-Watkins Ah, thanks for sharing that... with arthritis we must be well-attuned to our limits and stay within them. Sounds like you're doing that.

Aka saddle... it's very common for this to be a difficult one...

Clearly you're not the only one having this experience in Saddle!

Sounds unpleasant! Do blocks and cushioning help at all?

I'm with you on Toe Squat! Regarding Saddle – sounds like you're doing a good job listening to your body's messages.

You're not alone in that, LaTisca! I'm curious, do you have knee problems otherwise, or is it only a problem during saddle?

So glad this was a helpful way for you to gently return to your body after surgery. May you continue to recover swiftly! ❤️
