Featured Video: Maria Kirsten's Chair Pigeon Pose

This chair version of Pigeon pose makes the pose accessible to those who are only practicing in chairs. But it's also a version that is good for anyone because Maria says it may be more effective than the floor version. In addition, it looks safer to me because you are not dropping all your weight onto your hip and knee joints. —Nina
