Part 6/10:
Continuing to explore gentle movements, Adriene introduces the pigeon pose — participants are led through reclined variations that involve crossing one leg over the other to promote hip opening and relaxation. Again, she advises working within one’s capability, ensuring that movements do not exacerbate existing pain.
With repeated emphasis on breathing and awareness, Adriene invites participants to either stay with variations or extend their legs for deeper stretches based on comfort levels. This flexibility serves as an invitation to honor one’s body throughout the practice.
