Knee alignment

This is a set-up designed by Gabriel Halpern at Yoga Circle to equalize the alignment of the legs and in my case, particularly to stretch out the left leg which would not straighten because of the compromised knee.

The set-up consists of a long pillow between the legs, straps at the hip crease, just above the knee and at the ankles and a 50# weight on top of the thighs. The weight stays in place for no more than 10 minutes and is repeated on a regular basis.
