Oh dear Leigha! Step-by-step class like this one is very good for intermediates! King pigeon is something I want to master, so I will comeback to this class more times. Thank you 🙏 and hello for beautiful dog :)))
I was ecstatic to see a new class from you...your flows are always exactly what I need! I have moved from a complete beginner to a much more advanced yogi alongside your channel. I have come into poses that I would have thought completely impossible a few years ago! It is always such a delight to see new videos from you!!! Namaste
Loved this Leigha. King Pigeon is a pose I don't really work on. Took advice from one of the previous comments and did a longer warm up, then had a little practice at your tutorial before starting the class. Strong and slow and will take a lot of practice. Thank you so much for this beautiful class.
So much emotion in this practice! I haven't been able to open my chest and shoulders like this in so long. Your classes are magic ,woman! Keep bringing em. Id love to see you post some new videos. ♡☆♡☆
Oh I love pigeon pose🥰 That makes me so happy even though I can only follow half of your perfection. I will keep practicing on this beautiful flow. Thank you leigha ❤️🙏
Hurrrra, yahooo. Simply magical. In the third year of my yoga practice I was able to keep pincha out of the wall! However, with just one leg straight up but still for me is a great progress. Out dogs must be family. My Belmondo is exactly the same like yours. Regards, A
My heart and soul jumped for joy when I saw you uploaded a new video!! Sooo glorious. You never ever disappoint, Leigha. Love everything about you and your practice. Thank you for another yummy class!
Thank you so, so, so, so much! You just made my day! As you do, every time you post new videos. Cannot believe how happy they make me 😊 I hope you realize how awesome you are 🌺 🌸🌺🌸
Thank you so much for the videos! I find myself starting to go into my own little flows or attempting to get into newer poses I don't know yet because I feel myself wanting to do them. Thanks for the encouragement and teachings!
I had a tough day... n I was thinking I would skip yoga tomorrow.. bt now I think I should not.. after seeing a new video of yours.. gotta try this.. thank you so much dear.. for keeping me invigorating💪 I just wish you all the happiness in your life..
I loved this class! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. It was perfect for me today. I enjoyed the pacing and the careful instruction for using the strap. I was able to go deeper into King Pigeon than ever before and I felt fantastic afterward. Huck's adorable, BTW. :D
Doing this class today was really good, specially because lately my days are so hectic and doing your yoga has been helping a lot! Thank you so much for this lovely class Leigha. Namaste
Hi Leigha I've just finished this beautiful practice of yours and have to admit it was amazing. I'm experienced yoga practitioner and I thought I might call myself advanced however after this practice I've realized that there's plenty of space for an improvement. I want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this sequence working towards King Pigeon and I'll definitely revisite this video and as well as your other videos, as I just subscribed to your channel 😀 Well done and keep up the good work your doing 👏. Namaste ✌ & 💕
This was magic and I feel like I'm gonna cry. My body and my mind feel so much better now, I have been run ragged working crazy hours for three weeks and tonight begins multiple glorious days for myself. This class was the best way to shake off the work tension and to enter the relaxed space of a mini vacation. Thank you for making such a delicious, challenging, and fully-considered class. Absolute perfection.
Great practice again, thank you for sharing. Personally I think that the pigeon is a very hard posture and when you add quadriceps to it, it's even harder, so these poses are very helpful, thank you!:)
Love the flow. some poses were a little too hard for me, maybe I'm not quite intermediate. the video got me hooked though, i kept trying, 3 times. I'm not as flexible as you clearly, can't do the splits and i'm not ready for dolphin straight up yet either. i look forward to attempting more of these flows
You almost killed me.🤣 You are my go to when I'm feeling brave and strong. You are definitely helping me progress from begginer/intermediate into solid intermediate. I am in awe of your grace and ease of flow in these difficult practices. Thank you so much. I've never come so close to full king pigeon. 😁 We appreciate you!!
I love love love this practice! I've done it twice now thank you so much for sharing. The way you teach brings me so much deeper into the poses than I am usually able to go on my own. I have a question about king pigeon. While we had the arms behind the head holding the strap, you mentioned "kick into the strap with the foot to send the chest forward" (LOVED THAT it made a world of a difference!) ... do we keep that active tension kicking back as we walk the hands toward the foot or does the foot relax toward the head as the hands eventually grab? *Thank you!*
Hey Leigha, i absolutely love this flow! i actually really like all your videos ;) practicing "with you" almost every day.. Have you ever thought about doing a chakra serie? 🌸
+Melody Idol If you're practicing 3+ times/week, developing real warmth every time, and being very careful not to overdo it, you will see a difference within weeks. The deeper backbends could take 6 mos - 5 years depending on various things. Think of opening the front body more than the back body, and incorporate shoulder/triceps opening to assist the process. Have fun in every moment. 👌🏾
Thank you for sharing this practice (and all the others--I'm working my way through your library and I love your teaching style more and more with each one!). Do you have any advice for how I can work that back leg to bend in king pigeon? As soon as I reach back to draw the foot forward and bend the knee, my quad (rear leg) starts to cramp up. I intend to just omit advancing the pose for now but curious if you've seen that before?
+Megan Dark The cramping is common and goes away. It sounds like your hamstring isn’t totally used to bending and squeezing in that particular way, so keep doing it in as many configurations as you can dream up. Stand at a wall and pull your heal to your bum; do dance pose; try grabbing your foot from lunge instead of pigeon; try kicking your heel to your butt fifty times; when that becomes easy, try holding a block or smthng like it to your butt with just the strength of your hammy and heel; drink a ton of water before you practice and breathe through the cramping if it’s not too intense; be patient and slow about it - a little every day/practice. Downdog is the perfect stretch once the cramping happens. It really does go away, so keep it up. Stay in touch and share how it’s coming along!
Oooo wonderful! Just the encouragement I needed to overcome the fear. And so many great options to work through. Many, many thanks Leigha. I wonder if you've considered starting a Patreon account? I would happily subscribe to a paid yoga service offered by you :)
