Pigeon Pose – Unlock Deep Hip Flexibility

www.stretchburner.com/pigeon-pose Struggling with tight hips or lower back tension? The Pigeon Pose is a powerful yoga stretch that targets your hip rotators, glutes, and lower back—areas often affected by prolonged sitting or intense workouts. It's your body's "reset button," releasing stored tension and enhancing mobility. How to Practice: Start in a tabletop position on your hands and knees. Bring your right knee forward behind your right wrist, angling your foot to the left. Extend your left leg straight back, keeping your hips square to the front. Lower your torso toward the floor, walking your hands forward as you exhale. Hold the stretch for 5–10 breaths, then switch sides. Tips: Use yoga blocks under your hips for support if needed. Maintain a neutral spine; avoid overarching your back. Deep breathing enhances the stretch and calms the mind. Regular practice can improve posture, alleviate lower back tension, and enhance athletic performance. It's also a great way to counteract the effects of sitting all day.
