Pigeon Pose | Full Anatomical Analysis + Mistakes to Avoid

This video include some common mistakes and possible solutions
For more info on this pose, check our Yoga app at the link below.
www.muscleandm...
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]

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

[@carrington2949]

@@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.

Sounds like you’re a quitter. Stop making excuses and take your practice more seriously and you will see results. I thought at someone over 6 foot I’d never be flexible but now I can put my food behind my head

I always wondered why I couldn't keep my knee at a 90° angle without it wanting to fold back 🤦 I just tried it while focusing on the femur rotation and keeping my knee very bent... I feel it now. These videos are great and I would love to see more!

My go to stretch for tight hip flexors ;)

[@chellep7463]

Bc carefully over doing pigeon. It targets the deep six muscles, not the glutes like people think. Your deep six muscles are your stabilisers and too much stretching statically will ultimately switch them off, not what you want. Add some activation stuff first before static

Chinese squat sitting helped me with glute and hip flexer loosening. I noticed I could do this a lot easier after that.

Upavesasana or the hip wide squat with arms folded in prayer position with elbow pushing against each knee has great benefits as well as awesome precursor to the asana in this video.

You just need other stretches first. Its an advanced move.

​@@spontaneousbootaycould you tell us which exercises, please ? I can do it on my left side but not on my right :/

[@spontaneousbootay]

@@SophieTherese-re1zb it depends on your situation but i will say that its likely deep lunges and the couch front hip flexor stretch that are tight from sitting. Just get down and start moving your legs in a circle around you and slowly move into the tightness.

Funnily enough pigeon may cause si joint pain. This Asana requires the sacrum to be in two anatomical positions at the same time which it doesn't naturally do. It can't nutate and counter nutate simultaneously
