Yoga for Knees

Yoga helps to keep knees healthy and strong by lengthening and strengthening the surrounding thigh and calf muscles, thus helping to ease the pressure on the knees. Injuries and knee problems are often due to mechanical issues with the kneecap, which then impacts the ligaments and the joints, but most exercises fail to equally develop the inner, outer, upper and lower muscles.

Yoga asanas for knee pain helps to
Increasing strength and flexibility in knees after an injury
Guarding against future injuries or problems
Increasing blood flow and nourishment, which it sends to the surrounding joints and ligaments
Strengthen your knees with these simple yoga asanas

Exercise 1:
Standing up, lift one leg up
Bend and straighten up from knee
Tighten the buttocks and leg and then bend forward slowly
Keeping your posture as straight as possible, stretch the toe. Stay in this position for a few seconds while breathing normally
Inhale while raising and exhale while lowering the leg
Breathing out, gently come back to position 1Repeat 3 times for each leg

Exercise 2:
Keep your feet 2 to 3 feet apart
Turn the right leg at a right angle and left leg a little inward
Tighten the buttocks and leg and then bend forward slowly
Hold the position for as long as you comfortably can, while breathing normally Repeat 3 times for each foot

Exercise 3:
Keep your feet 2 to 3 feet apart Turn the right leg at a right angle and left leg a little inward
Tighten the buttocks and leg With hands interlocked, bend forward slowly, and hold the position while continuing to breathe normally. Repeat 3 times on each side

Exercise 4:
Keep your feet 2 to 3 feet apart
Turn the right leg at a right angle and left leg a little inward
Tighten the buttocks and leg With hands interlocked, bend forward and bring the hands up as far as you can. Hold the position while continuing to breathe normally. Repeat 3 times on each side
Caution: It is important to practice these asanas with caution. If you have an existing knee ailment or any other joint problems, you should do yoga asanas for knees cautiously without over exerting yourself. more  

I think UTTHANPADASAN is the best if the person is able to do it. Its very easy if the person can move his / her leg legs upward at 15 -60 degree above, keeping the legs straight while sleeping straight with mouth and chest in upward direction (Chitt let kar) more  
I think photos or line drawings along with names of Asanas will make things more clear. more  
It's a good idea to explain with photos more  
Can you please give names of these yog asanas so that the correct posture and right way of doing can be seen in a yog asan book more  
Do you have a figure of these poses also for better understanding more
