A pigeon has just landed on the handrails of NYC (pun intended) ! 😛 The fancier Sanskrit term is called: Eka Pada Rajakapotasana This is a great stress relieving pose, and helps with reducing tension in our hips. My swimming students and the runners that I know love this pose and do it even outside of my yoga classes to supplement their intense training 💥🏊🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ I remember getting the worst sciatic pain during my first marathon training and this pose always hits the spot. Not only does it stretch out our big glute muscles but, it also hits a much deeper muscle group called the piriformis. Another way to release the piriformis is by using a yoga therapy ball or a tennis ball. Also, the backbending and arm thing that you see me doing in this photo is not what the traditional pose looks like. I just wanted to be a fancy pigeon 🙃 .
