A yoga teacher recommends these five poses if you struggle with joint pain

A woman practices yoga at home. She is on her hands and knees on a yoga mat, looking at a laptop in front of her on a small table. Behind her we see a couch with scatter cushions and some bookshelves. A small dog is lying next to her as she exercises. .

Joint pain is a common issue that can be caused by anything from illness to poor posture.

I spoke to yoga instructor Ilana Sabban from Move Studios, who explained that arthritis, previous injuries, and a lack of mobility and strength around the joint can also be causes—but sometimes it can be down to muscle weakness, too.
