    The Pigeon pose is a powerful thigh stretch that requires high mobility in the hip joint. It also stretches the front and back lines, depending on the back position.
    The Pigeon pose is very commonly practiced, yet not everyone is aware of the high injury potential when a person is practicing the pose with limited mobility or too aggressively.
    It’s important to understand the challenge in this pose and know how to handle it, both for beginners and advanced practitioners and yoga teachers.

    A good tip for anyone starting out in yoga. Do what you can and don't push your body past what is comfortable. Your body will gradually open up and allow you to do the poses in time.

    • @chellep7463
      @chellep7463 Рік тому +3

      No not true! If you don't have the exact proportions, pelvis shape and hypermobility that a lot of the poses require, time will make no difference. We need to stop selling this lie

      @@chellep7463 I think she’s talking about working your way up to the full stretch. Form can be achieved without reaching the full stretch. Form is always a given. The point is to work your way up to the full stretch and to not push is - WHILE MAINTAINING FORM. The endgame is to NOT F YOURSELF UP. 😂 Remember the original yogis practiced throughout their lifetimes.
