Standing Pigeon (Tada Kapotasana)

Standing Pigeon builds on the balance you have been developing. Your standing leg works harder. Your outer hip on your lifted leg opens more. Your center of gravity drops while your foundation remains limited to a single foot.

On the Warrior’s Path, Standing Pigeon represents composure. The sensation can build quickly, but the challenge is not simply enduring it. You are learning to remain balanced, breathe into resistance, and soften where you can while staying strong where you need to.
