Beginner Yoga Challenge: Half Pigeon Forward Bend

Performed by Marin Jayden

Benefits of the Half Pigeon Forward Bend: This pose helps treat urinary disorders and alleviate sciatica pain. It stimulates the organs in your chest, stomach and abdomen as well as stretches the hips and groin.

From Downward Facing Dog, move both feet together and move your right knee forward.
Let your entire left leg rest on the mat.
Bend your right leg across your body and let your body rest on top of it on the ground.
Extend your arms in front of you and hold.

Modifications: If this pose creates too much stress for your right knee, use a block under your hips. Only bend your knee as far as you are comfortable.
