Yoga for Hip Mobility: 3 Pigeon Pose Alternatives

Do you love or hate Pigeon pose? Is the pose good for your hips and knees or bad for them? Pigeon is one of those tricky poses that either feels really good in your body or it creates aches and pain. Pigeon tends to be practiced as a passive stretch that's held for a long time, which can be part of the reason why it doesn't feel good in some people's hips, lower back or knees.
Whether you enjoy the pose or not, this lesson is going to go through some helpful active stretches that get right into the same places you're trying to stretch in the traditional Pigeon pose. This means that if do these active stretches BEFORE you do the passive version of the pose, it can kick on your muscles and nervous system and help keep you feeling good in the pose.
Or if you never want to do Pigeon again but want to still get a similar stretch in your hips while improving your hip mobility, then these three Pigeon alternatives are what you've been waiting for.
