How to do the Double Pigeon Pose

1. Sit tall with legs extended, then bend one knee and bring the shin parallel to your torso.
2. Bend the other knee and stack that shin on top so the ankle rests over the bottom knee and the feet flex.
3. Lengthen through your spine and let your hands rest beside your hips or on the top shin.
4. Stay upright or hinge forward slightly if you want more sensation.

Tips

• Keep both feet flexed to protect the knees.
• Sit tall and reach the crown of your head toward the ceiling to avoid collapsing.

Adjustments

• Extend the bottom leg forward if stacking both shins feels like too much today.
