Eka Pada Rajakapotasana "One-Legged King Pigeon Pose" takes us on a journey into deep backbends. Moving into the preparation of this pose the simple pigeon deeply works the hips/ groins and helps to release tension in this pelvic region of our bodies. It requires steady balance while curving backward. The pose is named after a dove or pigeon with its chest puffed up. The backbend action of the torso also works the shoulders into an open position, helping to open the lungs.
