6. One-legged King Pigeon Pose

This pose is for intermediate students. To do this pose, get on all fours on the board and make sure your knees are below the hips. Take your right knee and move it towards your right wrist. Simultaneously, angle your right shin under your torso while bringing your foot to the front of your left knee. Your outside shin should be resting against the board. Move your left leg back and straighten your knee and move the thigh to the board. Keep the right heel in front of the left hip. Now, your left leg should be straight and slightly inward, but not at an angle. Push your fingertips on the board near the shin. Next, lift your torso and roll your left hip toward the right heel. Drop your head back. Lift your chest.

This pose helps to relieve stress, fatigue and anxiety while stretching the thighs, groin and abdomen. It also relieves tension in areas like the chest and shoulders and aids in digestion by working at the abdominal organs.
