    Dancing and yoga after TKR?

    Thank you Josephine. The limitations I have heard of include not being able to kneel and reduced range of motion - both of which would impact a yoga practice but are not deal breakers. Your response is helpful - and so was the artilce on the forum about people who have gone back to intense...
