One-Legged King Pigeon

Technique

How to perform One-Legged King Pigeon

1. Start in an upright Pigeon position with the front hip supported and the front knee comfortable; use a familiar backbend range.
2. Bend the rear knee and use a strap around the rear foot to establish a controlled hold, keeping the rear shin roughly upright.
3. Lift the chest and bring the elbows overhead as available; approach the foot with the head only if the backbend allows it without pulling the foot forward or forcing contact.
4. Release one hand to the floor for support, then release the other hand and lower the rear foot; return to all fours before changing sides.
