My hovering knee

Hi Liliana

Yes, hovering knee does sound very ominous! Monica, I am pretty sure Liliana must mean the bent knee and not the supporting straight leg! 😛

Tadasana is a knee-twisting movement. So let’s get some more facts about what’s happening. You need to work out if there are any other movements that are causing your knee to feel vulnerable.

Next can you tell me at what point, what exactly are you doing in Tree when you feel the problem? What’s your lower back doing, feeling? What’s happening with your hips?

Whatever you can manage to tell me, for example what angle your leg has with the ground. Is your hovering knee forward of your standing leg and by how much? Stuff like that… :cheese:

Namaste

Hi Liliana

Try this: Bring your leg up and heel across so that it lies over your femur. Don’t worry if your foot drops down a little as long as it stays over or on the inside of the femur. Your flexibility may not be allowing you to bring up your leg as high as you like yet. So give it a little reprieve and let your foot move out and down a bit.

Then draw it in and up little by little over time.

Tell me if that makes sense and of course, if it works. 😉

Namaste
