Note:
Many of these actions are supported. For those recovering from knee injuries, these are safe, and in fact recommended to do in the recovery stage. However, use discretion to keep away from some of the actions in case of painful or inflammed knees. Also use discretion in approaching the fully flexed positions like virasana
