Thanks so much for this. I teach an older class and I’ve found your videos so useful as a lot of the typical/common poses are just not accessible to many of my students.
I'm so glad you've found this approach helpful. I agree, many poses aren't accessible to a lot of people so I'm grateful you've been getting inspiration and ideas for your teaching!
Is there a pigeon for hip arthritis? Supine Figure four gives my arthritic left hip the same agita that pigeon gives it. I’ve been using a kind of prone half frog, feels better, but very passive.
At 66, I now experience intermittent sacro-iliac joint (SIJ) stiffness (bordering on locking), occasionally spreading to full lower-back pain. The condition generally lasts a day or so, and can affect either SIJ separately. I wonder if you're aware of any exercise which might cure - ideally, prevent - SIJ stiffness? Thanks for the videos, btw: excellently presented and useful.
You should know that, as a beginner looking for alternatives to pigeon pose, when I went to do the last move where you are in lunge and squeezing your legs together as you press the front food down and pull it towards you, I felt a sharp pain along side the medial and distal portion of my knee. I was able to let up and the pain released after a few scary moments, but this happened following your instruction. If you know of any directions to avoid that, I’d add them to your flow.
Thanks for sharing. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any pain in the knee when doing these movements. Especially with the focus of how you're pressing the foot down into the floor while moving. Maybe you went further forward than your knee wanted to? If the sensation keeps up in other times you're doing a lunge, then I would suggest to work with a physiotherapist in person so they can see what's going on specifically in your knee as it's hard to do that with online lessons. Hope that helps a bit!
AMAZING. Thank you.
Fabulous!
This is such good work! I love all the subtlety you bring to it. Thank you!
You're so welcome! So much fun stuff to explore with this all :)

I am having tight hips at the moment🥺 I have tried this one and it feels ok at the moment like everything you have to keep at it 🙄
