Alternating Pigeon Pose

 

Start in high plank position and go into pigeon pose by bringing one leg up, bending knee and laying the shin of leg on ground under your torso as perpendicular as possible underneath you and then bring torso down as close to the ground as possible. This position is great for flexibility to open the hips by opening the hip rotators and hip flexor muscles. Stretch arms forward as far as you can go, using your arms to adjust the weight that you put onto your hips. If the stretch is too deep, put more weight into your arms. Stay in this position to a count of 3 and then bring your arms back to the ground under shoulders, lifting hips up from the ground, bring your bent leg back to plank and bring in the opposite leg and repeat movements in a mirror fashion with this leg. Continue with these movements alternating legs for each rep.
