GLUTES

Pigeon Pose

BeginnerBodyweight

Pigeon Pose is a floor stretch that opens up the glutes and the front of the trailing hip. Folding one leg in front while stretching the other behind you puts a deep, targeted stretch across the hip capsule. Use it to loosen tight hips and build mobility before or after lower-body work.

How to do it

  1. 1

    From a kneeling or plank start, bring one knee forward so the shin rests roughly across your body.

  2. 2

    Slide the opposite leg straight back behind you, keeping the front of that thigh toward the floor.

  3. 3

    Set your hands on the floor ahead of your front shin to support your weight.

  4. 4

    Ease your chest forward until you feel a comfortable stretch deep in the front hip and glute.

  5. 5

    Breathe and hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then swap legs and repeat on the other side.
