Strong knees create a stable foundation — in practice and in life.
These 5 simple exercises help build strength around the knee joint, support mobility, and reduce the risk of injury. When the muscles around your knees are active and balanced, your asana practice becomes safer and more sustainable.
✔ Straight-Leg Raise – activates the quadriceps
✔ Glute Bridge – strengthens hips and supports knee alignment
✔ Mini Squat – builds controlled strength
✔ Seated Knee Extensions – improves joint stability
✔ Step-Ups – enhances balance and functional movement
Practice with awareness. Move slowly. Focus on alignment and breath.
Save this for your weekly routine and share it with someone working on knee strength.
