Dove pose is an advanced yoga posture.
This pose has one heel on the other knee and the other knee on the heel.
Then lean forward from the groin to keep the whole spine extended.
“Agnistambhasana” is the Sanskrit name of this posture.
“Agni” refers to “fire” and “stambha” refers to “pillar” or “wood”.
In the double pigeon pose, the legs are like stacked wood.
Practitioners will feel the strong stretch of hips and pelvis during practice.
In this pose, the position of folding the ankle on the other knee is similar to the position of the leg in the pigeon pose.
Therefore, it is named as “Double Dove”.
It is suggested that you should spend enough time to warm up your body, especially your hips, waist muscles and groin before practicing.
When folding forward, avoid back bending and bend from the groin.
Don’t try to push your knee to the floor or bend it forward beyond your limit.
Do not practice if your lower back, hips or ankles are injured.
Explain the posture of walking stick sitting, lift the left knee slightly off the ground, and pull the left heel towards you.
Bend the right leg and place the right foot under the left knee.
Keep your right foot parallel to the edge of the mat.
Place the left heel above the right knee.
Keep your back straight.
Put your hands in front of your legs.
Keep breathing evenly.
When your hands move forward, make sure you fold forward from your groin for 30-60 seconds.
Tips for beginners If it is difficult to fold one leg on the other, you can simply sit in a simple seat.
When leaning forward, rotating the thigh outward at the hip joint helps to relax the hips.
Modify the folded blanket: If your pelvis is tilted back, sit on the folded blanket and practice.
This improves the pelvic area and prevents back sagging.
Yoga bricks: place the yoga bricks between the ankle of the lower leg and the knee of the thigh.
This will not exert pressure on the hips, and can still open the hips.
You can also put another yoga block in front of your calf so that you can lean on it above your ankle.
This can prevent ankle injuries and stack shins.
Variant 1: put your hand on the ground Variant 2: bend forward further by putting your elbow on the ground.

Variant 3: Twist, twist your torso in the double pigeon pose.
