Tight hips? Sciatica nerve issues? Lower back issues? Oh my GOSH I love this pose and there are so many ways to do it. The above pose is a modification of the original which is below.

And then there are these variations:

Since the pigeon pose targets the hip flexors, glutes, and piriformis muscles, it helps improve the range of motion in the hips. It may also strengthen the muscles that support the hips and lower back. Pigeon pose may also help relieve lower back pain by stretching the muscles and tendons around the spine. -WebMD

Don’t forget to alternate each leg for a stretch on each side.
