Thank you very much for the answer, and yes he did actually say flop. His background I believe is Purna Yoga. Your answer was very helpful, very encouraging and I am very happy with it if for no other reason than I can’t do all of the Yoga poses that I have been shown properly by the standards of th...

torn meniscus

I am recovering from a torn meniscus in my knee. I am walking normally again (not limping and unassisted) but I do still feel some discomfort in my knee after walking or exercising to any length of time.

Could Yin Yoga help this or is it recommended that I wait?
