Zen Jetman Plurp Aug 2018 2:00pm, 20 Aug 2018 45 posts	0 Zen Jetman Plurp Lazarus thread. I've been doing Yoga with Adriene on t'interweb for almost three months with True, Revolution and I'm nearing the end of '30 days of'. I've enjoyed it and I wish that I'd started years ago. There's one thing though, I've picked up a medial knee ache on one side during the yoga period and I could blame it on a brisk and not particularly well warmed up Parkrun on undulating hard ground that led to two weeks of non-running. There have been several non warmed up Parkruns before without ache. Then feeling fine, I ran a beach / mud/ rock race that was on, cough, undulating terrain that brought it back. I've been nursing it for three weeks. It's a long story but the crux is, has anyone experienced a knee injury through yoga: perhaps through too many downward dogs, pigeons or something else? Is it common? I've never had a knee injury before and had had a very lovely and long injury free period prior to the current ache.

With pigeon there is a risk of hurting the knee I think and there are alternatives, such as the lying figure 4, that won't put as much strain on this joint.
alpenrose Aug 2018 8:30pm, 20 Aug 2018 35,143 posts	0 alpenrose I've not heard of people getting knee injuries with yoga, sounds more likely to be the running. Have you considered going to see a physio who could help throw light on it and maybe help with some rehab exercises?
