🙏🏼Pigeon • Eka Pada Rajakapotasana🐦 (One-Legged King Pigeon Pose). The two poses share similar alignment in the hips and, more important, an imperative to be approached thoughtfully 💭 and consciously Most practitioners recognize that One-Legged King Pigeon is an advanced backbend💕 that requires precise alignment. Yet many of us are likely to thoughtlessly fold into the forward-bend variation of Pigeon, which can put a lot of stress on the knee and sacrum 🌟To avoid injury, I approach Pigeon by first doing variations that will open the hips gradually and safely. Once your hips are open, you’ll be able to craft a well-balanced Pigeon that benefits your hips and lower back 👍🏼 If you practice it consistently, you’ll notice more ease in your lower half as you sit, walk, and stand 😍✨ #asana #halfpigeon #heartopener #yoga#yogaforrunners #beachyoga #bodhihealingstudio #yogasavvy #animalsdoingyoga
