Thank you so much for reaching out about this! There are a few reasons that may be happening so let's look at some possibilities: - If your heels aren't equally lifted there may be less/or imbalanced support being generated from your calf (the releve should create a stabilizing contraction for your knees). Check that you have equal height in both heels and equal right in each foot throughout the set. You can also see if it just feels better to do this series with your heels on the floor. - Whenever we lean forward at all there is a possibility of bringing pressure into the knees (kinda like running downhill), to see if that's an issue, focus on really using your stable surface (ballet barre) to keep your spine completely vertical (it may almost feel as though you're leaning back slightly). - The world we're all living in right now had been a tough one on our hips. Since it's your lateral knee specifically feeling sensitive, this might be the culprit. When our TFL (hip muscle) gets shortened or tight/overactive, it can create a pull down the whole outer leg into the knee insertion. To help with this at the moment you can try stepping your feet a little wider (hip-width to lessen the 'stretch' on the outer hip), adding the ball/pillow back between your low thighs (to activate your medial muscle and help take some of the pressure off the outer leg) and/or making the hip circles smaller in range until we can get your hips a little more mobile. If it is tight hips, we can work through that! Our classes are created to help with that issue (dancers need strong, flexible hips). See if spending a few more breaths in pigeon pose or adding in a couple of Munder10 stretch videos a week helps brings some relief. Let me know how this goes! We'll figure it out together. M xo
