Pigeon Pose is highly effective for working through tension in your hips, groin and lower back. Plus, it offers a healing release for your mind and improves strength and flexibility. For both beginners and experienced practitioners, it’s important to approach this pose gently and mindfully. Ease into this stretch slowly and remember to breathe and listen to your body. If you struggle to square your hips, relieve the pressure by placing a pillow or blanket under the buttock that’s lifting. Do not place your right (front) knee in the middle of your hands! If you do that, you won’t achieve a steady base for the next steps of the pose. Also, do not try to bring your front shin parallel to the mat, unless you can easily square your pelvis in the above-described steps and don’t feel any stretch in your right buttock.
