Oh my God. My pidgeon finally feels right. Safe, and stretchy in the right places. I've been doing yoga for 10 years and never felt the stretch where you're supposed to feel it in pidgeon, and I always felt really anxious about possible knee injury in this pose. This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much, Lizzie!

This makes me soooo happy to hear! I feel like I made this up but I never like to claim that since most things have already been done before--I've just never seen this taught. I found myself with knee issues in this pose and wondered how I could leverage the joints in a safe manner to get a good stretch. This is what helped me.

I'm a man in my sixties, doing yoga for 4 years now and in yoga teacher-training. Always struggled with pigeon and its effects on the knee, so I do different figure-4 variations. But I love your tip/trick. It makes so much sense and feels right. I also love your emphasis on trusting your intuition and sensory feedback before the "orders" of the teacher. Thank you.

I'm so happy this was helpful. Yes, there needs to be A LOT more information out there about this pose as so many people hurt themselves trying to recreate what they've been taught/shown. This is an ADVANCED pose even though people often treat it as basic. The health of our bodies/joints is much more important than any pose will ever be.

Thank you for the great tips! I’ve been on and off with Yoga classes for several years. All the instructors say is sit down while doing the pigeon pose rather than up. But honestly I was doing the best I can with a tight lower body. And bam! Your tip is life changing. I’ve just managed to sit further downwards without struggling to balance or killing my knee just to do the pose.

Wow! This has made all the difference! I used to dread pigeon pose because it hurt. I thought that the pain was the stretch and I could not understand why others said the pose felt so good. I thought I was just not as flexible in my hips. However, once I tried this slight shift, my hip opened up and I was able to experience what the pose is supposed to feel like. I am so thankful!!!

Hi Vivian, I’m contacting some folks to update them on my work. I’m no longer able to sustain making all my videos here on KZbin as I make zero money. I’ve been doing this for free for 18 months and I’m in need of an income. My heart is full, but my pockets are empty. If you are interested, I’m planning on moving to a super easy, beautiful, and affordable site to host my video content. I’m thinking $9.99 per month. Please email me your address if you have interest. Thank you for understanding. 🥰 LizzieBrooksYoga@gmail.com

15 years of yoga....and I finally can do an effective pigeon now. This is genius - thank you!!! Why don't more instructors know this trick?!
@Lizzie.Brooks
@Lizzie.Brooks 10 ай бұрын
I'm super excited to hear it worked for you! I think others don't teach it because I came to it myself through my own practice as well as trying to find a way to teach this in a way that would be kinder to the knees. I could tell pigeon was hard on the knees & it's taught so often that I thought it unsafe. Knowing the hip socket anatomy made me look for ways to utilize that while decreasing torque on the knee. Best of luck! ⭐️
