Yoga for Knee Pain in the UK
Yoga that works around your knees, not over them
Knee pain changes how a person moves long before it stops them: avoiding stairs, sitting on the floor less, standing up from a chair with both hands. This Therapeutic Yoga class is built around keeping the body moving without loading painful joints, with chair support throughout, strengthening for the muscles around the knee and gentle mobility within a comfortable range.

Yoga that works around your knees, not over them
Most yoga classes quietly assume healthy knees: kneeling, deep squats, cross-legged sitting and lotus poses. With arthritis or joint pain, those are exactly what can aggravate things. Here every pose has a chair or standing version, the mentor asks what your doctor or physiotherapist has advised, and anything that hurts is simply replaced.
The UK is the easiest overseas timezone we teach into, and British families make heavy use of that. A 4:30 PM class in London is 10 PM in Bengaluru, so we can offer weekday after-school batches to the UK that simply are not possible for North America.
Chair-supported practice throughout, with no kneeling or deep squats required
Strengthening for the thighs and hips that support the knees
Balance work done safely beside a chair or wall
Practise at home, without stairs, travel or a studio floor
Batch timings for the UK
Live classes on GMT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
After-school weekday batches, 4:30 to 6:30 PM UK time, are the most popular option and the reason many UK families choose us. Saturday morning batches run as well. The clock time we quote is your local one, and it holds through the BST and GMT switch.
London and the surrounding counties lead, with Harrow, Wembley, Croydon and Slough the areas we hear from most, followed by Leicester, Birmingham and Manchester.
What you walk away able to do
A chair-based routine you can do safely on your own

Knowledge of which positions to avoid for your knees

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us who the class is for
Call or WhatsApp us and say who is joining and where they are starting from. For yoga for knee pain that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to their age, body and experience.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with you for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class and batch of ours.
3. Pick a slot that fits your week
We place you in a batch scheduled for GMT, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“Timezone was our biggest worry. Smriti Samskara made it effortless, the Mahabharata class fits perfectly into our London evenings, and the storytelling quality is simply exceptional.”
