On the way to yoga, it’s not yoga, it’s on the way to yoga
. 
What worries teachers most when they take yoga classes is that the scholars practiced the postures of standing and bending legs, such as the lunge, warrior one and warrior two, because it’s very easy for them to buckle their knees inside or open them outside
. 
They are worried about these students
. 
At this time, in order to find the proper position of the knee, the instruction given by the teacher is generally to align the knee with the second toe in front, such as the following figure: left knee buckle in the middle knee ortho position right knee open “align the knee with the second toe in front”
. 
This is the final state of the knee described
. 
What process should we go through to achieve this state? It is necessary to further understand, in order to correctly do a good job
. 
The knee is the joint of the lower leg bone and the thigh bone, so we need to start the thigh and calf muscles to stabilize, especially the thigh muscles
.
How do the thigh muscles start? In this case, the inner and outer thigh muscles need to be activated together to produce two equal forces to keep the knee straight ahead
.
For example, take Warrior II as an example: in Warrior II, adductor of thigh, abductor of hip (gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, etc.) and rotator should be activated
.
How do you find the feeling of activating the medial thigh muscles, the lateral thigh muscles, and the deep external rotators (piriformis, etc.)? Imagine putting the thigh bone back to the hip
.
At the same time, start the calf muscles, press the ground on the inside and outside of the sole of the foot, and push the two feet toward each other
.
As shown in the figure below, it is recommended to use bricks to practice to find the right position of the knee
.
As shown in the figure below, use knees and walls against bricks to practice two variants (C and D) of Warrior II (a), anti Warrior (b) and lateral angle (C and D) of each posture for 30 seconds to keep the bricks stable
.
Let’s try it now
