Yoga is Good for your health & your soul.

This gradual scale of variations allows the student to practice a pose they may have thought was off limits. Practicing in this progressive way, they may find that they are able to bend their knees to a higher degree without pain than before. Yoga modifications aren't bad.

Yoga is Good for your health & your soul.

In general, avoid poses where the knee is twisted (sage's twist, lotus), and place a thin cushion or folded blanket on your mat for extra cushioning. Also, consider using support for balance poses such as tree, half-moon and warrior III – rest a hand, or hands, on a wall or chair back.

Flex the knees to reduce muscular pull on the hips. Shift body weight forward to limit shoulder flexion (for upper-extremity issues). Place an object under the “heels” of the palms and/or feet to accommodate current joint ranges and lever lengths.
