7. Fold forward keeping your shoulders away from your ears
8. Rest your head on a yoga block for support

![[YOGA HACK] 3 BIG mistakes that people make in Pigeon Pose](/img/1.gif)
I never realized how wrong I was doing this pose until this video and WOW! Big difference! Thanks!
My coach recommended this pose to help with my kickboxing. My hips already feel more open, and flexible. Thanks so much! 🙏
Super helpful. Have been doing it for years incorrectly. This was a great release
Thank you for this, this is the best video I have found which explains pigeon pose!
Thank you! I was making almost every mistake you pointed out. Good to know how to do it correctly!
Thanks for this. I was concerned that my bent leg had to be parallel to the mat as that is what they do in videos. So I am glad that it can be angled until I become more flexible to get it straighter.
Omg you don't know how much this clarified things for me! TY ❤
It work, every should try this technique. TAHNKS A LOT DEAR.
Holy smokes!! I've been having problems sitting cross-legged for the longest time and let me tell you, this pose really does help do the trick. Thank you for the easy-to-follow explanation!
Love this pose before skating
Fantastic video - thank you for the details on form!
This is amazing. I'd been making those mistakes. Going into it from down dog is a game changer
Such a good guide! Thank you so much for this clear and easy-to-follow video❤️ I was literally doing all the wrong things before lol
Thanks, great + clear instruction.
This video is amazing , I tried ur tips and it worked for me ... this is a great posture , Thank You 😊
thanks for this. every time i'm in this pose i'm thinking am i doing this right? this doesn't feel right lol. now i know what to do
So happy it helped!!
Yess me too thank youu ❤️
Yeah same doubt I always have
😮WOW!!! You did an amazing job explaining how to do this pose. I was doing all the odd, dare I say crazy methods you described and was completely off balance and alignment. Your is the way-thank you!😊
Great thanks. You are the best
Great advice🙏🏻
Oh my god I can finally FEEL the stretch. I knew something was off when I was trying. Thank you so much for this! 🙏🏽
This explanation is the best
Well+Good Squad!!🙋🏾♀️❤ Love it!!
Love ya Myrna
Thank you so much.... It really helped me..! 🙂🙂
Thanks for the tips
Thank you so greatly :)
1) I finally realized why I wasn't feeling anything: i was doing it wrong
2) "It's a hip opener and not a knee stretch": finally an explanation why I wasn't feeling any stretch
3) The shin parallel is actually a problem but I'll work on it
4) I'm everything but a flexible person (pancake workout proved it in a very humiliating way) but I can easily flat forward here. So why do you say it is for super-flexible people?
Anyway, great explanation
Answering point number 4. Because there is no chance if you are not flexible for your left hip as in the video to actually touch the mat.I can flat forward easily too but my hip is nowhere near touching the mat.When I force my hip slightly lower I can actually feel my outer hip being ripped open :)
Thank you... 🙂
THANK YOU
As soon as I was doing it the wrong way (what you showed in the beginning) I was like wait this doesnt feel right I need to look this up and im glad i did I saved s m time
But also you basically have to born able to do splits for things like this so ig I wasted some time
Wow...Beautiful
I have seen a few yoga teachers teach this pose from tabletop position which is more accessible for me because of balance issues due to spinal cord defect.
So helpful thank you
So glad!
Is the periodic dinging noise necessary
Thank you! Also some diff camera angles would be helpful in terms of knowing where that left knee is exactly in relation to the hip.
Would love a W+G yoga class!
Omg SAME!
this was awesome. highly recommend for cyclists w. tight hip flexors
Hi! I did this pose a couple days ago after a run and i think i didnt do it the right way.Is it possible to injur yourself (knee/hip)or it is just not effective if i you dont do it correctly thank you for your answear :)
I have sciatica heirnated didc and spinal stenosis can i try this
I have a tight groin as it is. Should I be feeling it mainly in the hip that is behind (extended leg) or the hip that is in front? Or both?
finally someone said it
Knee Position outside the hip 💓 at last the reason I can’t progress in this asana is revealed
Is it ok to use a block instead of blanket?
U 🌊🌲
I'm here because of Jomboy. You can thank me for reinvigorating your interest in random baseball plays later. Namaste.
How long it takes.
Anyone here from listening to Kevin gates?
I am so afraid I am doing this wrong I have weak knees and I don’t want to hurt then any more than they already are. I always feel a burn on my knees and never on my hips :(
Does she have her own channel
Im not flexible enough for this pose
I can't do downward dog. I'm going to just stop doing this pose.
Looks super hard to do. I can at least do a few poses like the cobra, dog, and child poses. Yoga isn't easy for me.
I would like for her to try it on me I will imitate the floor mat or pillow

A view from the front and back would have been helpful rather than only from the side.
Agreed.
Everybody tells me I need to stretch and my chronic pain will go away, but I can’t even get into down dog, it’s painful. It all hurts so much, I can’t take it.
Lol I did it so wrong
omg ive been doing it wrong this whole time NOOOOO
Yess! That's 100% okay, that's what we are here for!
The subtitles covered your entire posture..🙄
Can you turn off the subtitles? Mine didn’t have any, but I keep mine off.
Lol I hope you found how to turn your subtitles on and off 😆
Background music is irritating and unnecessary
