YOU’RE DOING PIGEON STRETCH WRONG ❌🚫❌ CHECKLIST BELOW ⬇️:

🛠️ The goal of the pigeon pose is both lengthen the piriformis (front leg) and the hipflexor (back leg). 
Make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck when you do this!

PIGEON STRETCH CHECKLIST BELOW ⬇️:

1️⃣ Front knee close to 90 degrees
✅ Deeper stretch on the piriformis 
❌ Don’t bend the front knee too much

2️⃣ Hips square + leg & foot straight 
✅ Proper hip and leg alignment ensures you’re getting a stretch on both the glutes and hip-flexor.
❌ Don’t allow the hips, leg or foot to rotate

3️⃣Back glute tight
✅ Deeper stretch on the back hip-flexor
❌ Don’t let tension off the back glute

4️⃣ Stay upright
✅ Places emphasis on both front glutes and back hip-flexor 
❌ Don’t lean over front leg
