Yoga Pigeon Pose for Athletes

So the next pose, Pigeon, is a hip opener. You can take your right knee forward. Try to feel it from the knee, the thighbone draws back into the hip joint and from the back blade the thigh extends out from your pelvis. Keeping your back foot nice and strong, you can curl your toes under. Lift the inner thighs towards each other. Feel the stable action in the core of the pelvis opening up your chest on the inhale. If you want a deeper stretch you can slowly release yourself forward, forearms towards the floor. Breathe into where ever you feel this to try to soften your upper body and release tension or tightness in your outer hip or lower back area. Inhale, then exhale and walk your hands back to that lower pose.
