My #3 Favorite Pelvic Floor Stretch

Pigeon Pose Stretch

Instructions:
1. Start in a downward facing dog. Bring the right leg forward toward your right hand and rest it on the mat, while reaching your right ankle toward the left hand and resting it on the mat (as close to your hand as is comfortable for you.) Ideally, your right shin will be parallel to the front of the mat.

2. Lower your hips toward the floor, resting on top of your right leg.

3. Straighten your left leg out behind you.
Keep your hips square, balancing your weight by pressing your hands down onto the mat in front of you.
4. If this is enough of a stretch, stay here and breathe. If you want a deeper stretch, bend at the hips, bringing your torso down toward the mat and reaching over your bent front leg. Flex your right foot. Maintain this position for 60 seconds; breathe slowly.

5. Switch to the other side; repeat the process.
