Such clarity and good to bust those unhelpful myths and call out some of the not-so-helpful/harmful alignment cues. Your brilliant videos will make the yoga world a safer place. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏🏻❤️

Yes!

Don't ever stop making these amazing vids xx

This is wonderfully explained and presented. Thanks!

Thank You Rachel! Always learning from you !

awsome; thank you. I have 2 total knee replacements; so excellent info.

Wow!!!! learned so much about pigeon and will incorporate into my practice during class. I have been doing it wrong!

Thank you great video

Really thank you for sharing all the tips to keep ourself safe in pigeon pose.. Now with confidence i can practice my active pigeon 🎉. Thank you

thanks for these videos, I think you're a great teacher !! keeper coming !!! :)

So awesome! I've been in alignment with (heh, heh) much of this as well via lots of experimentation (why weren't we taught this??), but you always find a way to take it up to the highest level! Thank you! You da bomb. : ) XO

Excellent! The hip in the yummy pigeon never felt safe. Can't wait to get home, rewatch and try all this with you. Thank you so much!!!

brilliant

A few things about this video: 1) as always, super helpful! I’ve been taught in resting pigeon that the straight leg should be behind you and lined up with the hip socket. 🤦🏻‍♀️ No doubt that this has not been good for various parts of my body lol. Now I know better thanks to this video. 2) I’m so glad you’re making it known that there are 2 pigeon poses! It seems commonplace that many instructors (when they say “move into pigeon pose”) mean resting or sleeping pigeon. 3) I LOVE your energy, knocking blocks over and all! 😃 4) I appreciate the student voice for “I love pigeon!” 😂 Fantastic.

Thank you, as always, for having such thoughtful approaches to poses- I've been guilty of cueing to straighten and align the back leg with the hip but now I see it isn't necessary or advisable if that outer hip is lifting in resting pigeon....I wonder what your thoughts are in flying pigeon- I actually injured my knee two and a half years ago doing that pose and it still bothers me today- I am pretty sure I was doing it somehow incorrectly and compromising that knee

Hey Rachel thanks so much for your very helpful videos, I’ve been teaching yoga for two years but I’ve never thought about anatomy like now I really love to understand anatomy, what’s the best yoga anatomy book you’d recommend?

Thank you for the explanation. Both of my knees are bad and each time I had to do the sleeping pegion pose my knees hurts afterward. I am not a Yoga teacher but looking for explanation in many yoga poses are difficult - thanks God I found you and thank you very much- love your videos.

hi rachel...one more amazing video;thanks...I just finish my ytt200 and started teaching hatha yoga class...Also practicing 5-6 days in a week...sometimes I have knee pain.I remember you mentioned in an anatomy video ;also u had knee pain and your physiotherapist said U'r hip muscles are weak...How was your journey about the knee pain? What's u'r suggestion ? I'm worry about it.💌🍀
