What is Flying Pigeon?
Eka Pada Galavasana is a one-legged arm balance with a hip-opening leg position. Its demands include wrist support, balance, and knee/hip range.
How should the posture be approached?
This page does not provide an entry sequence. Learn the exact method directly from a qualified teacher in a clear, padded area.
- Do not force the crossed leg or press on the knee.
- Do not jump or shift weight suddenly onto the hands.
- Keep the face clear of hard surfaces and exit before fatigue.
- Stop for pain, numbness, or loss of control.
What is a lower-demand alternative?
Practice a supported lunge or a hands-supported squat with both feet grounded.
Common question: Is Half Pigeon enough preparation to try the arm balance?
Not by itself. The balance needs specific instruction and readiness assessment.
