Well, you know there is yoga or this: Qi Gong for Healthy Joints & Bones with Lee Holden

or this : Sonnon FREE TO MOVE Joint Mobility

and I am sure there are many other, even gentle, ways to reactivate the joint and especially the knees. :-)

Do they require any equipment ? I bought one yoga vid that came highly recommended (yin and yan yoga - Simon Law) but I couldn't do any of it cos it needed mats and soft supports I don't possess.

I don't know the Yin and yang Yoga, but basically you should not need any props to do Yoga. However, if you are really serious about it, with time it's would be worth investing in a Yoga mat, which are usually thin but sticky, to give you a good support in standing exercises.

I found a trailer of Low's yoga program, doesn't look anything special to me.

If you want a video, maybe this would be helpful: http://www.himalayaninstitute.org/store/product/0586eb3d-8f1a-4778-967f-237b577de509.aspx

Once maybe you worked with this you can move on to the Low program.

But whatever kind of yoga you do, you have to respect the limitations of your body. Every body has limitations, though they might differ. For me yoga is also exploring the limitations and then gently moving beyond the limitations, one 1mm at a time. :-)

Thanks. The low video starts with a warm up invovling a "bolster", a big support cushion which I simply don't have a substitute for.
