Agnistambhasana (Fire Log or Double Pigeon Pose) Benefits, How to Do by Yogi Ritesh - Siddhi Yoga

Transcript

Namaste friends I am Ritesh and today we focus on a fire log pose also known as a double pigeon pose or in Sanskrit agnistambhasana Agni means fire and stambha means log Friends it's an intermediate seated forward bend and it's a great deep hip-
opener so before we get into the practice people
with knee issues or lower back injury should avoid this pose if we have a very
tight hip or groin please use a block or a bolster friends now let's get into
the pose so we start with a dandasana so any of the seated positions starts with
a dandasana so I tall myself I shift my goo so I can really sit on my sitting
bones I keep my arches active my chin is parallel my ribcage is not popping out
it's in line with my pelvis now from here I flex my right leg down and then
my left now friends if you find this pose too difficult to maintain
you can just do simply a Sukhasana or an easy pose and a forward bend
so the right leg goes in the left leg on the top now once again I see that I'm
not slouching okay I keep my back straight and tall I activate it now from
here itself I can feel the burning sensation so I make it a point that I
listen to my body I don't have to force myself to go forward
so I keep my self tall now friends very important you have to activate your
arches so that your knee is safe or you can say stable so activate your arches
activate the left arch to the right tall yourself and now from here
just keep your spine straight now you'll feel that eyes if you move
forward you find an intense burning sensation at the hip joint and keep
moving forward and don't forget to smile and just breathe you are breathing in and you are breathing out now for some people they would find sitting in this position very
difficult and the pelvis will still move backwards so I take a block and I sit on
the block now sitting on the block just makes your pelvis more high and then
once again now friends we can change the leg position from here I take the left
leg down okay and the right leg on the top now still standing tall adjusting my
sitting bones on the block keep it tall activate your arches and now from here
move forward so the moving forward keep the spine straight as if lengthening from
the crown of your head and then move forward once again AGNI you feel a
burning sensation at the hip joint and that was the reason it was known as AGNISTAMBHASANA moving forward slowly and gently enjoying the pose and don't
forget to breathe inhale and exhale as you breath in come back slowly and
relax yourself friends it's a great pose it builds strength in your lower body, outer hip & groin the intensity depends upon how your hips are how your groin is friends it comes to mind and it helps to reduce stress and depression so friends that was your Agnistambhasana or also known as a double
