Reading Time: 3 minutes Pigeon Pose is a hip opener forward bend. It stretches the entire lower part of the body, stimulates the abdominal organs and helps relieve the body of Sciatica.
Thread the Needle pose (Sucirandhrasana), also known as Eye of the Needle or Figure 4 pose, is much less intense than Pigeon pose, but just as effective for opening the hips, and safer for those with any limitations such as knee or hip issues.
