I'd like to try some knee-friendly yoga to add to my routine. My husband works out every morning at work, but he's willing to do something relaxing with me before bed. Anyone have suggestions?

    No, I don't think I'd ever get off the couch if I had any kind of cable. Just have netflix, but am looking for dvds I can buy.

    I've done a few free yoga classes at a gym, and it does make you super flexible. I haven't heard of any Yoga specifically for knee problems. This is the kind of thing you ought to ask your physician about.

    Yes, I do a flow every morning, a variation of a sun salutation flow. A lot of knee issues can be exacerbated or even caused by tightness in the surrounding muscles, hip flexors, IT band, etc. I find yoga to be very helpful and it has been recommended by both my orthopedic surgeon and my physiotherapist.
    You can do a quick google or check out youtube and find a guide, I found this neat animation:
