Episode 60: THE COMPLEXITIES OF

HALF PIGEON POSE

You either love Half Pigeon pose or you hate it!! Which is it for you or your students? It can be a powerful hip opener, but it’s also a pose that begs respect for the body’s limits. Understanding the pose on a deeper level (more than anatomy and general alignment) and adding in the biomechanics of the pose, helps us practice and teach it in a way that honors our students’ unique bodies and needs. 

As teachers, we must understand the complexity of Half Pigeon pose, because we are placing stress while we position the joints in extreme ranges while adding weight, gravity, force, and load onto the body. 

In this episode, I will deconstruct Half Pigeon pose and help you understand its many complexities - we’ll explore its anatomy, biomechanics, potential risks, and ways to teach it responsibly.
