Pigeon Twists

In the pigeon pose foundation, introduce an active rotational component by threading the opposite shoulder down toward the front foot or turning the chest to open toward the front thigh.

Key points

  • Maintain stability in the base hip position while introducing spinal rotation
  • Breathe deeply to allow ribcage and thoracic release during the twist
  • Use hand support on the floor to control depth and rotational torque

Common mistakes

Forcing rotational depth at the expense of front knee safety.
