Here is Day 1 of #RLYluckyfitness which is pigeon pose! Save this for later and find more info about our IG challenge in my last post! This is my numero uno pose that has saved my legs multiple times! 🙌🏼

Lots of tips in the audio here so watch with sound on if you can (IG’s closed captioning refused to work for me so here are written directions below too!).

I could write a short book on pigeon pose—one minute just does not do the intricacies and prep poses of this one justice!!! So if you love (or want to love 😂) this pose, you should also check out Flow #94: Pigeon Pose at Runners Love Yoga TV which is a 34 min. class devoted to this amazing pose! Truly it IS amazing what devoting a little time to this pose can do!! 💜

1️⃣ begin in a low lunge, then wiggle both hands to the inside edge of your front foot. Wiggle foot more to the edge of your mat.
2️⃣ Pause here OR drop to forearms OR forearms on blocks! Wherever you are, press arm to leg, leg to arm gently.
3️⃣ Now move palms/elbows/blocks out of the way to heel-toe your foot across front of mat. Go with shin parallel OR knee more forward. Flex front foot a bit (keeps knee happy).
4️⃣ Try to keep hips square to the mat, without rolling to outer hip! Scooting the back leg further back helps with this.
5️⃣ Inhale talk, exhale to fold over leg!
⭐️: compare legs before you switch sides to see the difference!

Looking forward to Day 2 hosted by Keira @keiradamato for Friday March 18! 🎉
