I have limited mobility which is made worse by operations that mean it's painful for me to kneel and almost impossible for me to get on to and then up from the floor.
I have got an app that has sofa/seated yoga which i have just started doing.
I'm not sure if this will help my pain and mobility or if there's something else i can do. It has to be low impact, not getting on and off the floor, not kneeling etc. It needs to be fun  |

water yoga might be the answer, check if there's a class near you. |

Hi OP
I had bad knees for over 30 years. I did yoga and pilates classes, 3-4 times a week for many years, it never really helped my knee pain.
Over the past few years, I changed my diet. I reduced sugar and carbs from my diet: and the inflammation dramatically reduced, to the point that after 30 years, I began to run 5k runs daily without pain or side effects.
Now we are clearly different people and you need to figure out what is best for you. I’m just sharing a long term issue I’ve managed to improve my way of living thanks to a change in what I eat.

I had thought of that but there isn't a class near by  |

"Movement yoga might help, its similar to Tai chi and you can amend and flow in and out of the different poses at your pace.
I don't do any of the kneeling poses either "
Thank you, I'll look into that |

Thank you. The pain in my knees is because i had knee replacements following an accident at work where the cartlidge was damaged. The consultant told me to take care of my knees and not to kneel or got down to and up from the floor. My workplace had other ideas so i need the replacements redoing. I no longer work there.
I am trying to not have much sugar and carbs, it's been impossible over Christmas though 
I do have an inflammatary autoimmune disease so i really need to eat better.
Thank you |
