Yoga Pose of the Week: Reclined Pigeon

First off Happy Sunday everyone. It's overcast and wet here. We had a lot of rain late last night. It made for a good sleep, after a long yet fun day down in Amish Country with my momma. How is it where you are?

Now onto our Yoga.

Reclined Pigeon
Supta Eka Pada Rajakapotasana

Again this is another pose that will help with lower back and sciatica. I enjoy this pose because I feel it all through my back and up my gluts

Therapeutic Application

• Tight hips
• Sciatica
• Lower back
• Knees

Benefits

• Stretches the lower back as well as the sciatic nerve.
• Stretches the IT band

Cautions

• Lower back issues

When I get into this pose I lie on my back. On an in breath I bring my knees in. Then I place my right ankle over my left knee. On another in breath I grab my left thigh with my arms and pull upward to my face. I stay here for about 20-30 seconds or depending on how long is needed. Then do the same thing on the other side.

I had a program for my work on Friday.

Yesterday my mom and I went to Amish Country.

It was a long past couple of days. After my long week.

I was ready to do some yoga today.

I first got myself a cup of tea and then watched the Sermon online.

Afterwards I did some yoga.

As I write this post I am watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Happy Sunday Everyone.

Namaste.
