Pigeon Sequence Yoga
is a sequence of yoga poses that is designed to open and energize the body, improve circulation, and release tension in the neck and shoulders. The poses are all seated or reclining poses, and can be done either in a sequence or as a standalone practice.
The sequence begins with a seated spinal twist, which helps to open the spine and release tension in the back. Next, we move into a seated forward bend, which stretches the hamstrings and lower back. The third pose is a reclining spinal twist, which stretches the sides of the body and helps to release tension in the neck and shoulders. The fourth and final pose is a reclining hamstring stretch, which stretches the hamstrings and lower back.
If you are new to yoga, you may want to practice the poses one at a time, rather than doing the sequence. You can also vary the order of the poses, or add in some of your own favorite poses. Pigeon Sequence Yoga is a great way to open and energize the body, and it can be easily modified to fit your needs. Enjoy!

The following sequence is just a suggested starting point – feel free to modify and adapt as needed. Remember to always listen to your body and practice with caution. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult with a qualified yoga teacher.
Gentle Yoga Sequences
for Busy People
There is a lot of talk these days about the importance of taking care of oneself. We are constantly being told that if we want to be our best selves we need to exercise, eat well, and get enough sleep. And while all of these things are important, it can be tough to find the time to fit them all into our busy lives.
That’s where gentle yoga comes in. Gentle yoga is a type of yoga that is slower paced and less vigorous than other types of yoga. It is perfect for people who are new to yoga, or who find more vigorous forms of yoga too challenging.
