Path to King Pigeon Pose - Hips & Heart Opening WorkShop
“ A deep dive into King Pigeon Pose focusing on unlocking hips and shoulders using props and tailored hands on assists.”
Mastering King Pigeon Pose, Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana is a journey of balancing stability with surrender. This majestic backbend requires a unique combination of deep hip mobility, expansive shoulder opening, and a supple spine. In this workshop, we will deconstruct this peak posture, breaking it down into manageable layers so you can progress safely and with confidence.
What to Expect
We will begin with a targeted warm up designed to unlock the primary areas needed for King Pigeon- the hip flexors, psoas, and shoulders. Using a pose breakdown lab approach, we will explore:
👑 The Power of Props: Learn how to use yoga blocks to square your hips and protect your lower back. We’ll utilize yoga straps to bridge the gap between hand and foot, allowing for a deeper flip the grip shoulder rotation without compromising alignment.
👑 Wall Support: Discover how the wall can act as a stable partner to deepen your backbend and refine your vertical alignment.
👑 Hands on Assists: You will receive personalized, supportive adjustments to help you find your unique sweet spot, ensuring you feel the stretch in the muscles rather than the joints.
Benefits
👑 Deep Release: Alleviate tension in the hips and lower back, areas often tightened by modern chair bound lifestyles.
👑 Improved Posture: Open the chest and shoulders to counteract a rounded spine and enhance respiratory capacity.
👑 Emotional Freedom: Hip opening practices are renowned for releasing stored stress and promoting a sense of calm and clarity
