6Right Pigeon 1

TRANSITION:  Get up on your hands and knees...  Bring your right knee forward and up and put your right foot on the outside of your left knee with the top of your right foot on the ground.  (It's not as bad as it looks!)
 

Hold for 10-20 seconds.  Focus on arching your back and stretching your left leg back.

7Right Pigeon 2

TRANSITION:  Just lift your back leg -- if you can.  I couldn't do this at all when I first tried.  Frighteningly, the full posture has your left knee way off the ground and your left foot ON THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD!  Yeah, uh, good luck with that.

Hold for 10-20 seconds.  Still focus on arching your back and point that toe!  This one will really work on that caboose.

8Right Pigeon 3

TRANSITION:  Put your left leg back down (whew!) and fold forward.

Hold for 10-20 seconds.  Focus on stretching your arms way out in front of you and remember to breathe.

9Left Pigeon 1

TRANSITION:  Now for the other side... From the last posture, slide your hands back.  Get up on your hands and knees again...  Bring your left knee forward and up and put your left foot on the outside of your right knee with the top of your left foot on the ground.

Hold for 10-20 seconds.  Focus on arching your back and stretching your right leg back.

Hold for 10-20 seconds.  Still focus on arching your back and point that toe!  You don't want your caboose to be lopsided, do you?

There's more.  Keep going...
