Which Chakra is Activated by Practicing Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (Pigeon Pose)

The practice of Eka Pada Rajakapotasana activates the Svadhisthana Chakra, located in the pelvic area. This energy center is associated with creativity, emotions, and the release of stored emotions. The hip-opening nature of Pigeon Pose stimulates and balances the energy flow in the Svadhisthana Chakra, fostering a sense of emotional well-being, creativity, and openness.

DETAIL + DEPTH | This pose is a great prep for any backbend, and can be done to varying degrees. Slide the head trough the back of the chair and place the back on the chair seat. Start by holding the top bar with the hands shoulder width apart. To increase intensity, lower the hips to the floor or block, depending on flexibility and length of torso. To increase flexibility, take the hands to the lower chair bar. Squeeze the elbows and broaden the chest. If appropriate, lower the hips to a block or floor. Stay and breathe, then lift the hips and slide out of the chair. Sit tall and recuperate. ⁣ ⁣ © 2018 Ellen Huang Saltarelli⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Props by @shophalfmoon⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #detailanddepth #alignmentyoga#yogaalignment #yogachair #chairyoga #Yoga #yogaprops #propyourpose #yogapractice#yogaeverydamnday#practiceandalliscoming #iyengaryoga #pigeonpose #oneleggedkingpigeon #ekapadarajakapotasana #yogaforeverybody⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (at Highland Park, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHPWkLA_i6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ltntx7clb6r7

Another catchup with Day 7 of the #springintosplits2018 #yogachallenge in this Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana or #oneleggedkingpigeon variant. . . I kept my back leg extended to stretch out my right hip flexor, and came into Kali Mudra to bring fire to my splits practice today. 🔥 . . The Goddess Kali represents destruction, transformation and death. She destroys what is dark and makes way for the light. Kali is fierce, strong and powerful, and to embody her in this mudra is a great way to feel empowered during your yoga practice. 💪🏻 (from YogiApproved.com)🙇🏻‍♀️ 😁🕉💗🗽🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 #leggings by @yobaby_hk . .

Mermaid pose is one of my favorite yoga positions because it gives a feeling of openness not only physically but also emotionally and mentally. It primarily involves a backbend, twist, chest opening and hip and quad flexibility. I'll be teaching appropriate stretches to work towards mermaid over the next few weeks 😊 I'm hoping it will offer the same benefits of openness for you as it does for me 🐠🙏🏻🧘🏼‍♀️ #mermaid #mermaidpose #Oneleggedkingpigeon  #EkaPadaRajakapotasana #flexible #hathayoga #yogisofinstagram #ireland #irelandyoga #yoga #derryyoga #londonderryyoga #derry #londonderry #letterkenny #letterkennyyoga #donegal #donegalyoga #yogagirl #vinyasa #vinyasayoga #yogabymadeline #wholegreen #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeveryday #fitnessmotivation #northernireland #belfastyoga #yogalooksgood #yogachallenge2020 (at Letterkenny, Co.

Repost from @laraalexiou - It’s been several years since @mikebone made this digital portrait for me in my favorite signature pose. A physical yoga practice changes so much over time, I enjoy having this one moment captured. . . . #kingpigeonpose #pigeonpose #steamtownyoga #dailyyoga #yogachallenge #doyouyoga #author #oneleggedkingpigeon #ekapadarajakapotasana #yogaart #bodyasart #bosslady #yogatransformation #yogastudio #yogagoals #bikramyoga #digitalart #artofyoga #backbend #yogainspiration #yogaretreat ❤️ #steamtownhotyoga #selflove #bodyimage @steamtownyoga https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcIpZ2hQY8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hloun6hwdxue

Day 13 of #yoga4growth challenge hosted by @koyawebb & @ladydork sponsored by @aloyoga @sunwarriortribe @liforme @toesox & @getlovedup #oneleggedkingpigeon aka #ekapadarajakapotanasana Obviously this pose is a challenge for me bc it's a hip opener and I am tighter than... so this pose will become a part of my practice... it hurts so good and the more I practiced this for the picture, the deeper I could sit. Yayyyyyyy!! My secret joy in life is how flexible I am and I love feeling myself become more bendy everyday! Cheee huuuuu!! 🤙🏽 ps... I am excited to get a new mat cause mine is getting worn out fast. Yayyyyyy! #idoyoga #consistentlyeven #justyoga #flowitout #feelsawesome (at Paia, Hawaii)

@jnetvoo on One Legged King Pigeon ・・・ #oneleggedkingpigeon #ekapadarajakapotasana pose probably one of the most photogenic yoga poses . . . . #tipsforbeginners 💕 🔸If you're having difficulty keeping your pelvis level, place a yoga block, blanket, or end of a bolster under your front-leg hip. 🔸Use Strap. Make a generously sized loop with the strap, and wrap it around the sole of your right foot. Hold the loop in your right hand, palm facing up, and externally rotate (turn out) your upper arm. Turn the elbow out and up . #yoga #yogatutorial

DETAIL + DEPTH | This week's Peak Pose is a complex, asymmetrical pose. Asymmetrical poses tend to be less accessible than symmetrical poses, particularly for beginners and those learning to feel and move their body. Eka Pada Rajakapotasana 1 consists of: ⁣ •Knee flexion, external rotation, and hip flexion with the front leg⁣ •Hip extension and knee flexion with the back leg⁣ •Spinal extension⁣ •Shoulder extension and elbow flexion⁣ Start this practice with an attainable, symmetrical pose like Baddha Konasana. This version is done on a chair to receive back support through the back bar, when seated upright. One can also get a similar benefit against the wall. The added height of taking the pose from the chair seat, however, offers a welcome feeling of flight, while bringing the hands on blocks and adding flexion to the pose initially increases the difficulty. Work to keep the inner feet/big toe mounds pushing into one another, as to train the foot and inner leg for what will be beneficial in the peak pose, One-Legged King Pigeon Pose. For those with a lot of flexibility, press the tailbone forward and gently lift the pubic bone. If appropriate, continue in stages by adding pelvic flexion and bringing the hands onto blocks. Stay and breathe. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ © 2018 Ellen Huang Saltarelli⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #detailanddepth #alignmentyoga#yogaalignment #yogachair #chairyoga #Yoga #yogaprops #propyourpose #yogapractice#yogaeverydamnday#practiceandalliscoming #iyengaryoga #pigeonpose #oneleggedkingpigeon #ekapadarajakapotasana #yogaforeverybody⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (at Eagle Rock, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_ef7EgdsG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=98bgd0wqjwx8
