I Can Do Yoga Again

Because of severe osteoarthritis, particularly in my right knee, I wasn't able to fully enjoy my yoga practice. Even sitting cross-legged for more than a few minutes was painfully uncomfortable, as though a knife were slowly digging under the interior side of my kneecap. I have a medically prescribed knee brace but it wasn't helping with my yoga practice. I figured I was just going to have to accept a diminished yoga practice.I wanted to give these braces a try because, although I feel pain in my right knee, my left knee also has some cartilage damage. I used them during walking and some other upright exercises and was pleased with the results. I didn't hear the same sharp popping in my knee and I didn't have to pause in the middle of a set.Then I decided to do a yoga practice. Yesterday, I went through the practice, sinking back into child's pose and even sitting in a cross-legged position for more than a few minutes without any pain. But today was the real test because the practice had a pose that has a very deep knee bend--pigeon pose. I had honestly given up on ever getting into the pose ever again.Today I was able to do pigeon pose on both sides with no problem and NO PAIN. It wasn't necessarily comfortable. After all, I hadn't stretched my hips in quite that way for a very long time. It felt glorious! I have missed doing yoga on a regular basis and it feels wonderful to be able to do it again with more confidence and no more pain.
