I love these short clips on anatomy- and how to work with injuries from David Keil. Lotus is a pose many people struggle with especially if they have knee pain or tight hips...David says the glutes muscles are playing a big part too, which is why these stretches should help. Thank you for sharing David Keil ·

Yes, I said I want quiet time....Not "Last Christmas" by George Michael (although I do love that song :-))

Keeping the knees closed and allowing the hips to open over time is key I feel-Great tip from Kino.
