Pigeon pose is a yoga posture that stretches the hips, thighs, and lower back. To perform this pose, start in a downward-facing dog position, then bring one knee forward and place it behind your wrist. Extend the opposite leg straight back, keeping your hips square to the ground. This pose can help improve flexibility and relieve tension in the hip area. It is often included in yoga practices to enhance overall mobility and is beneficial for those who sit for long periods. Always approach this pose gently, especially if you have any hip or knee issues.
