POSTURE FOR SEPTEMBER

EKA PADA RAJAKAPOTASANA

pigeon or one-legged pigeon pose

This is a hip stretch and backbend to stretch the outer hip of the front leg, the hip flexors of the back leg, and can either be a forward fold or a

backend, depending on the variation you choose.

Benefits

Stretches hip flexor muscles (psoas, rectus femoris) and groin muscles.
Stretches hip rotator muscles (gluteus medius and minimus).
Thought to increase circulation to urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems.

Steps

From tabletop, bring your right knee forward to the floor just behind your right hand.
Place your right foot toward the left side of your mat, shin on the mat, with your knee at an angle that creates a stretch in the hip without pain in the knee. If your shin is parallel to the top of the mat, flex your foot back to stabilize your knee.
Walk your left knee behind you until your leg is fully extended. Draw your inner thighs energetically toward each other, which will slightly lift your pelvis.
Find the middle point where equal weight is between your left and right sides, and your pelvis is squared to the front of your mat.
If the right hip is off the ground, use a folded blanket, foam block, or bolster under your right hip for support, keeping the hips square and level.
Uncurl your left toes, looking back to see that your ankle is in line with your shin, and your leg is running in a straight line behind you.
On an inhale, send your tailbone down toward the earth and the crown of your head up towards the sky.
Option to exhale and slowly walk your hands forward in front of you, placing elbows on the floor or arms extended in front of you with torso on the floor.
Breathe slowly for at least 5 deep breaths.
Slowly walk your hands back up towards your body, placing your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width. Send the head of the arm bones back, allowing your upper chest to lift slightly so that the collarbones are broad.
Inhale to send your tailbone down and your crown up, walking your hands closer and closer to the body on an exhale so that the torso is moving towards an upright posture. Breathe here for 5 breaths or continue with the variation pose below.
Variation A – If you are able to painlessly and evenly stay in this posture while removing your right hand from the earth, you may reach your right arm behind you with the palm up. Draw your lower belly in to stabilize your spine, inner thighs moving towards each other. Bend your right knee and grasp the flexed foot with your hand. You may stay here and breathe or progress to the next variation.
Variation B – Point your foot and slowly shift your hand to the toes of the foot by outwardly rotating your arm deeper, slowly lifting the elbow forward, upwards, and eventually backward so that the palm is facing down. Press your left support hand into the floor to lengthen your waistline, keeping even weight in the left and right sides of the body. Breathe here or progress to the next variation.
Variation C – If you are able to maintain your balance and stability draw the lower belly in, move your inner thighs towards each other, lift your left arm up and back, grasping your foot with both hands. Send the head of the arm bone back into the socket, keep the action of your lower belly and legs, and breathe.
Slowly, release your foot, place both palms on the floor and step back to adho mukha svanasana (downward-facing dog).
Return to your hands and knees and repeat on the other side.
