Why Can’t I Do Pigeon Pose?! How To Make It Easier! 

Oh gosh! I'm so glad this helped!

This made my day! I am super excited for you! 💕

SAME!! I am stunned. Pigeon was always wonky and uncomfortable on my right side, leg was never 90°...This actually worked! 😮

This makes me soooo happy to hear! I feel like I made this up but I never like to claim that since most things have already been done before--I've just never seen this taught. I found myself with knee issues in this pose and wondered how I could leverage the joints in a safe manner to get a good stretch. This is what helped me.

Awe, I know! It took off this week for some reason. I'm thrilled it's helping folks! 💗

That's so cool that you are in teacher training! It means the world to me that this information was helpful and that you took to heart what I was saying about listening to your body over what ANY teacher tells you! :)

I am 62 and I was gobsmacked when I nailed it the very first time. I started yoga 5 months back. I even asked my instructor to double check to see if I was doing it right. I owe it to my switching to a vegetarian diet.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad this technique was helpful to you!

This means so much to me. I'm glad this resonated! ❤️

OH MY GOSH!!! THANK YOU!!! :)

Glad it was helpful! This warms my heart!

Thanks so much! 😊 I'm so glad you like the swivel!

Yes! I've always hated that cue! Many folks have been injured trying to create it. There are better ways to make these poses safe and effective. :)

You are so welcome. I'm glad your practice has grown. All my best to you and your family!

Yay! Love that this resonated!

Yay! It's times like these that I want to celebrate! I'm so glad this made a difference for you!

Hello, my love! So happy to see you here! Xo

I’m so excited to hear this! Really. It makes me so happy!

Glad it was helpful! It makes me so happy to hear this!

Love that you, too don't teach a "one-side-fits-all" approach! :)

Wow, HOW KIND! I am so glad this is helpful and so sorry you have had a series of set-backs. I wouldn't call them failures--just steps to learning and growing and finding the right path forward! :)

Anna Maria--thank you for this kind comment. I'm SO thrilled this has been helpful for you!

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear this!

It means a lot to me that you found this helpful! Thank you for your kind comment!

My heart is full reading your comment! I am thrilled this was helpful and thank you for sharing!

Oh, YAY!!! I'm so glad this made a difference for you!

Absolutely! I'm so glad this made sense for you!

Yay! Please let me know how it goes--it's a weird move, so you might want to watch as you do it for the first few times. Thanks for your kind comment!

I'm over the moon to hear that this approach helped you so much! I appreciate that you took the time to let me know! I wish you all the best!

I’m so glad you found it helpful!

I'm SO happy to hear it makes sense now! For so long, I didn't feel like pigeon pose made sense to most people--myself included. I wanted to find a way to work with our joint anatomy, make it safe, and access more benefit all at once. Thanks for your kind words!

I'm so glad you think it's remarkable! Yay!

You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

I'm so happy this helped!

This means a lot coming from a yoga teacher of 15 years. I've taught since 2000 and I always questioned many things that were even taught in my teacher training program. Listening to your body and intuition above EVERYTHING is a great way to go. Thanks for your support!

Im so glad this resonated with you! Thanks for stopping by!

Yes! Exactly! You totally get it. 🎯

I'm SO thrilled to hear this! Excellent! I appreciate your kind comment! 🥰

Elena! I am SO excited that this tip was helpful for your pigeon pose! I am no longer putting classes on RU-vid so if you want to find me, I have my own site www.LizzieBrooksFit.com. Thanks so much for the kind comment! :)

Excellent! Yay!

You are so very welcome! I'm glad it resonated!

Hi Alyssa! Thanks for your comment! I’m so glad this helped! 🥰

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!

Fabulous! :)

You bet!

Wonderful! Let me know how it goes!

Great to hear! I know this move is a bit weird but when you find just the right place, I find it very helpful as well! Thx for your comment!💖

You are so very welcome! You might want to try it at the same time as you watch that portion of the video, since the move is so weird! Please report back on your findings!!! :)

Glad you enjoyed it!🐝

Glad it was helpful! I love when this happens! 🦋

You're welcome! I want everyone to feel better in this pose and I'm so glad this helped! 💙

Well said! I agree--no one can feel what you feel and we must choose the best things for ourselves!

That's so very kind of you! I appreciate you.

I'm really happy this helped! :)

I'm so glad you think so!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you think so! I appreciate you!

Happy you're here--thank you!

I'm so glad! This is one tricky pose that needs to be explained better!

It makes my day that you think so! I appreciate you!

Glad it was helpful!

Oh, great! I love when these things resonate! :)

You are so welcome, Jennifer! :)

Wow, thank you! You brought such a big smile to my face!

Awe, I'm so glad you think it's "the best!" :)

Oh gosh! I'm so glad you found this helpful! I'm mostly on TikTok these days if you're interested in more tips. Have a great day! 💕⭐️💕

Let me know your thoughts!

I'm so glad this helped! ☀️☀️☀️

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you think so!

Glad it was helpful! :)

It makes me happy that this worked so well for you! YAY! :)

So happy to help and glad to dispel the myth that the calf has to be parallel with the front of the mat! Not so! We want you PAIN FREE! :)

Fantastic! Really--that's thrilling for me to hear!

Yes--I wish more people would talk about this! That's why I have this as my top video on my page. Please let me know how it goes! :)

Oh, wonderful! I'm so glad when we find something that addresses a particular issue in a pose! Thanks for your kind words!

I'm so happy to have kinda blown your mind! ;) I've not seen this technique taught anywhere else. I came up with it many years ago in my own practice because I have knee issues and knew that some of my students did as well. I appreciate that you took the time to leave this kind comment! :)

Yes! Yes! Yes! Cheers to doing a version that cares for your body! I'm so happy this worked!

I'm over the moon to hear this!!!

You’re welcome 😊

I'm so sorry about your knee issue! As you know, you're not alone in that and often we aren't given good alternatives. I'm thrilled you're teaching and can properly inform your students on how to navigate these tricky poses. And THANK YOU for suggesting this video to them. I appreciate you!

I'm so glad you think so! Thanks for the kind comment!

Of course!

You're welcome! I appreciate your comment!

You're welcome 😊

Excellent! I'm so happy it worked for you!

Yesssss!!! ✨🩷🩵✨ Thrilling to hear this! Really. I'm so glad it changed the pose for you for the better! Thanks for your kind words.

Glad you liked this one! I love to do pigeon with a table but it's often not accessible for people. Thanks for the kind comment!

So nice of you! You are most welcome!

I'm sorry you knee has been in pain in this pose--sadly, that happens a lot due to the angle and pressure put on that hinge joint. That's precisely why I made this tutorial and I'm SO glad it helped! Thanks for your kind words!

Glad you think so!

I'm so glad! Please let me know how it goes!

Absolutely! Glad you liked this one!

Oh, thanks so much, Vivian! I appreciate you! Let me know how it goes! 💕

Hi Vivian, I’m contacting some folks to update them on my work. I’m no longer able to sustain making all my videos here on RU-vid as I make zero money. I’ve been doing this for free for 18 months and I’m in need of an income. My heart is full, but my pockets are empty. If you are interested, I’m planning on moving to a super easy, beautiful, and affordable site to host my video content. I’m thinking $9.99 per month. Please email me your address if you have interest. Thank you for understanding. 🥰 LizzieBrooksYoga@gmail.com

Your tip work like magic. 😘

You're so welcome! Pls let me know what your clients think! 🦋

Thanks!!

You're very welcome!

I'm so sorry you hurt your knees--it's so easy to do that in this pose, which is why this information is so important. Are you knees ok, now?

Oh great! Glad it was helpful!
