King Pigeon Workshop
Who this workshop recording is for:
This 60-minute workshop recording will walk you through a follow-along routine to work on the hip, back, and shoulder flexibility required for King Pigeon pose. Note: this is not a yoga-style class (although you may recognize several yoga poses in many of the drills!)
Prerequisites: None. This is an “all levels” workshop and variations of drills are offered for various flexibility levels
This 60-minute, follow-along workshop covers:
A full-body warm up to prepare hips, back and shoulders
Active flexibility exercises to strengthen and stretch:
Back extension (arching through the back)
Shoulder flexion (overhead shoulder reach)
Shoulder rotation to work towards being able to grab your foot and “flip your grip” (don’t worry - variations of drills are shown with a strap for folks with stiffer shoulders)
Hip extension (stretching the front of the back leg hip in pigeon to be able to sink the hips lower and bend the back knee)
Hip external rotation (stretching the glutes of the front leg for a more comfortable Pigeon)
Suggested props:
Yoga blocks (or something to support your hands/hips as needed - practicing near a chair or the wall is often helpful if you don’t have blocks for your hands, and a pillow can be used to support your hips if you need a bolster for some of the exercises)
A long strap - it can be stretchy like a Theraband or stiff like a yoga strap. A scarf or even pair of pants can be used as a “strap” if needed
Upon checkout, you will receive a PDF with a link to the workshop recording (Squarespace limits file upload sizes so I can’t actually upload the whole recording here). The recording is for your personal use only, not to be shared with others - thank you!
