Knee friendly quad stretch?

FWIW, I picked up the February issue of Yoga Journal in the chiropractor's waiting room this afternoon, and there's an article that has probably more than you wanted to know about yoga and knees, focusing primarily on triangle pose. I only had time to skim it, but there was a lot of information about anatomy and alignment. It's not on the website - I looked - but if you're interested, it may still be on the store racks or the library.

I will check the library this weekend and see if they have this. I was unable to make that beginners class last night - but hope to do so next week.

I did note that my kneecap was giving me a little trouble after my training session last night - can't think what might have caused it outside of the forward/backward lunges. They were not particularly deep...

I am unsure if it is the medication working, or if I am unconsciously doing things differently to help my knee-cap problem - but it is feeling much better! When I compare my knees in the mirror it is obviously different from my other one, but the discomfort is, basically, gone

I visited my fitter yesterday with my bike and we determined that my seat-post must go up more than an inch!!!!! We had been raising it, but apparently not enough to make a real difference.

That much is required just to get my knee to a 35 degree angle... He wasn't comfortable with raising it that much at once, so we marked the seat-post where it SHOULD be, then raised it a quarter inch from where it was. Every couple of rides I will raise it another quarter-inch, so it should just take a couple of weeks to get it where it belongs, weather permitting riding. We had only been raising it 3mm or so each time, but I stopped doing that when my injuries took me off the bike back in October.
