I have been experiencing knee pain lately and realized I had NOT been regularly practicing pigeon. Is this because of the release of tension from the hip? I am going to look tonight to see if I naturally do an outward rotation in pigeon. Thank you for your very informative videos!

These videos are great! This one in particular is really beneficial for me... I’ve been experiencing some pain in my knee during pigeon pose, the options that he gave for elevating knee pain seem to really help.
Many thanks!

Thanks for this excellent video. If I may pose a question: i used to be a competitive runner about 20 years ago, and at one point I noticed that my knees crackle when I flex my leg as though something is moving around. It's quite noticeable but has never been painful (thankfully I didn't over train). I started yoga in Feb 2010, and have had no troubles with knees but recently I notice a tiny little tweak in my left knee and following Bernie's advice I am taking great care to respect that tweak. I don't have pain when doing a yoga asana, but occasionally afterwards, if the angle is right while standing, I feel it. I can't call it painful though. My question is, could this tweak have anything to do with the crackling in my knees? What could cause that crackling?
