Pigeon pose often shows up in yoga classes. People tend to love it because it can create an intense stretch in the outside of your hip or buttock (often stretching muscles that are responsible for back pain like the piriformis). And some people also find a stretch in the front thigh of the other leg. So with all that stretching, what’s not to love about pigeon pose?
Why pigeon pose is my least favourite yoga pose and how to do it anyways
