Pigeon Pose: Deep Hip Opener Proper Form Guide • Start in downward dog or tabletop position • Bring right knee forward behind right wrist • Extend left leg straight back, untucking toes • Square hips toward the front of your mat • Fold forward over front leg if comfortable • Hold 1-3 minutes, then switch sides

  8. Common Stretching Mistakes to Avoid Bouncing While Stretching Holding Your Breath This can cause muscle tears. Instead, hold stretches steadily and breathe through any discomfort. Breathing is essential for releasing tension. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly throughout each stretch. Pushing Too Hard Skipping the Warm-Up Stretching should feel challenging but never painful. Stop immediately if you feel sharp or shooting pain. Stretching cold muscles increases injury risk. Walk or do light cardio for 5-10 minutes first.
