Having knee pain??
If you are having knee pain (that is not associated with an injury) consider stretching your quads (thigh muscles) and hip flexors to release tension from the knees. Try these simple yoga stretches to lengthen your muscles.
Dancer pose: Stand on the right leg, bend the left leg at the knee, grab the foot or ankle. Push the left foot into the hand to stretch the quad. To intensify the stretch raise the right arm overhead and begin to lean forward. Repeat on opposite side.
Low lunge: Place the right foot forward, lower the left knee to the ground, lean into the right leg while pushing the tailbone down and forward to lengthen the left hip flexor. To intensify this stretch grab the left ankle in the left hand and extend the right arm forward. Repeat on opposite side.
