I was always told the sound is from air in the joints...but with pain

Noisy Joints

The popping, cracking joints you hear while practicing yoga may be

problematic or not, depending on the cause.

Cracking and popping noises can be attributed to a few different

phenomena. One explanation is that when a joint is pushed into or out

of its normal position (which could be done during a yoga pose) gases,

primarily nitrogen, are displaced and escape from the synovial fluid

inside the joint, causing a popping sound.

Another reason for the noise, according to frequent Yoga Journal

contributor and international yoga teacher Judith Lasater, comes from

a tendon moving across a joint or from arthritic changes that have

already occurred in the joint. She believes that if this popping

occurs naturally during yoga practice, or in daily life, for that

matter, there is not a problem.

However, it is unadvisable to continually try to pop one's joints

(i.e., cracking the knuckles). This practice tends to create

hypermobility and can lead to instability in the joint. This

instability can cause the surrounding musculature to tighten up a bit

to support the joint and thus the urge to pop will arise again, says

Lasater.

If the popping is from a tendon moving across a joint or from

arthritis, continue to pay attention to the area, and if the symptoms

change, or if there is pain associated with a popping or cracking

noise, seek the counsel of a qualified health professional.
