If you’ve ever seen a toddler try to catch a pigeon, you’ve likely observed the casual indifference the pigeon shows until the moment of pre-capture. The bird shifts away with just enough magnitude of energy to destroy the hope of the child. I would like to jump immediately to the end of the story here and destroy your hopes of having your hips perform pigeon like you may be hoping they will be the end of this class, instead, let’s re-configure hope to a new idea: I hope to establish strength at end ranges of motion in my hips.
After doing the PIGEON class, we recommend you also do the following class from the Library:
The reason I’m pairing this replay class with the new PIGEON Class is that Pigeon pose creates a massive stretch along the exact path of the IT Band and its interfaces. Use this IT Band-Aid Class as a primer to promote maximum motion from your hips as you build your tolerance for this pose.
In this Series, called Evolution, Jill goes back to her roots, teaching 16 different one hour classes, breaking down and building into well-known Yoga Poses as the focus of each class. Using Roll Model® balls, other props and novel strength building exercises, Jill strategically sequences to properly prep the body for each pose.
