Yoga Every Damn Day – As a part of A to Z April Blogging challenge, I am going to post a series of Yoga poses. Don’t worry I will keep it simple and crisp… and try not to make it boring. {All pictures are mine, clicked by my dear husband}
Eka Pada Rajakapotasana or Pigeon Pose
Trying out variations of pigeon pose. My ultimate goal is to do a King Pigeon pose effortlessly, which is the advanced version of the below pose. I am still working on achieving a deeper backbend.
