It's no secret that yoga can increase your flexibility, strength and balance while boosting mood and lowering stress. However, if you have sore knees then all of that bending might sound like a stretch too far.
The good news is that yoga can actually help with knee pain relief. Several bits of research — including this systematic review in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine — suggest that the gentle practice can actually reduce knee pain in people suffering from osteoarthritis.
