I swapped the 90/90 stretch for the 'floating pigeon' pose, and my hips, core and glutes feel better than ever
The article discusses the benefits of the 'floating pigeon' pose as an alternative to the traditional 90/90 stretch. This pose targets the hips, core, and glutes while promoting better posture and alignment. The author recommends consulting a trainer or health provider before attempting this exercise, especially for those with injuries or specific health conditions.
- ▪The floating pigeon pose is an active variation that helps engage the core and glutes.

- ▪Proper alignment is crucial, and lifting the arms can help check this during the pose.
