Suffering from lower back or outer hip pain? Try this modification of the classical pigeon pose.
Begin on the floor on hands and knees. Place your right knee in between your hands. Bring your right foot up in front of your left hip. Lengthen the left leg back. Lower the torso over the front of the pose and bring your elbows to the ground.
Notice how this lengthens the right lower back. From here, play with dropping the right hip toward and away from the ground. Notice how that changes the stretch in the back and the hip. Stay here as long as you like.
Repeat on the other side.
