For yoga use: any problems with poses that require really bent knees like easy pose, child's pose, etc.?

Of all the pads I tried these give me the most range of motion. If you visualize how much your elbows or knees are bent when running that is a good indicator. I run with no restriction on motion.

I have done some poses in yoga wearing them, including child's pose and had no problems.

I wouldn't use these for those types of yoga poses. I use them for lunges during my crossfit workouts, but even in that setting they're a little constrictive. They do, however, really protect my knees.

No problems for me - I've sat on the floor with my lower leg under my upper leg for several minutes. Of course I'm 58 and weigh 150 pounds. These knee pads work the best for me and, believe me, I've tried many different kinds. I recommend them.

I think they would be too thick/bulky for yoga. It would work to protect your knees but I don't think it would be good while doing the other postures unless you are taking them off and putting back on.

Yes that isn't a problem. The piece may tilt a little more tword you but that shouldn't cause a problem. That taller party will need to bend there knees a little more than you during positioning

I agree that chair is close to ground, & may cause high knees when feet are placed on the foot rests. Good chair otherwise.

I think y u can use it. My dad uses it. So I donot know exactly. But this one can fit any fat or thin knees since it is freely wrapped

My mother has knee problems. I would not recommend this for you because it only has two steps, i believe the second step would be too high for you. Pick something with 3 or 4 small steps instead of 2 big steps. If you are like my mom the 2nd step is too high a step, you will have to bend your knee too much.

No it's putting you knee at risk. The pull can be very strong and stretches really well the entire body. This isn't a good healthy choice in your case. I would look for a sitting position.

They do bend but not at the knees. I think with some creativity with the frosting they'd do what you want. (They don't sit "flat")

It works with movement. correct me if I'm wrong, but I think of yoga as a lot of position holding. My guess would be no.

As long as you can bend your knees w/out them touching the floor you should be ok.

Yes they bend at the shoulders elbows, neck, wrists, hips knees and feet. They are very poseable, nice detail, I would highly recommend!

Yes you can bend your knee while wearing the A to P Total Knee Wrap as long as you loosen the middle sleeve so that there's no pressure on the knee cap. Also, the ice pack allows for more bending as it defrosts. We do recommend that you elevate your leg above your heart as you're icing to decrease swelling faster. Hope this helps!

Perhaps a bit for pulldowns, but you can adjust by kneeling or squatting in front facing the machine when doing pulldowns. You should be OK for the other exercises.

Not if you are in the correct posture...wide stance squat without leaning over with upper body....keep body in good technique and lower back will be unaffected.

the hand paws are helpful for reducing stress and strain on the hands from some of the yoga poses like downward dog. There is some limited mobility with the paws - in that it's hard to grip items when the paws are on because of the padding on the palm side of the yoga paw. I have arthritis and it has helped reduce stress on those fingers when I'm in a pose but other than that, I'm not sure this product would do what you need. If you take Yoga; I strongly recommend them.

I did some looking around and pulled up "rubber mats". I found a role of "Valeo Yoga Mat, Purple" that you could cut to shape and apply several layers that wouldn't flatten. It's rather inexpensive too so multiple layers wouldn't cost a lot.

I think they do make a pad that slips over the knee area, but if you or someone you know are a little crafty, you could get some seat cusion batting in the craft dept. at Wmrt and make one. Or you could tie a thick towel onto the knee area and try that, it won't look the prettiest but might relieve some of the discomfort. My knee bothered me at first, but now not so much. If you are on it for an extended time, it will get a little uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

Some of the lunges are hard on the knees, depending on what type of knee problems you have and the areas the pressure is painful. I have athletic arthritis in both knees and go a bit easy on the lunges section. Squats don't seem to bother me, as long as I'm doing them the correct way. Hope this helps.
