The pigeon stretch is a classic hip opener to loosen then glutes. Done correctly it will help to increase hip mobility and can also reduce back pain associated with tight hips.

Cues:

  • Square hips to the front

  • Work towards a 90 degree knee bend. Bend less to avoid stretching the knee.

  • Posture tall and stay active 

  • Reach forward maintaining lumbar curve to intensify the stretch

Mistakes:

  • Uneven hips

  • Stretching sensation in the knee

  • Rounding the low back
