Pigeon Pose
This posture is a wonderful way to open up the hips, which is an area of the body that we tend to hold a lot of stress in. By opening the hips, we allow for an energy to flow in and out of them and as a result, we can begin to flush out some of the negative energy stored there. This posture is especially important for those of us that sit at our jobs and for those of us that do a lot of running and cycling. There are several variatiosns of this pose (Full pigeon, Bound pigeon which is pictured, or Half pigeon) all of which are equally beneficial. As with all postures, hold for 5 deep breaths and repeat with the other leg.
