Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in the popularity of yoga. Some people call it an ancient form of exercise and some call it a series of difficult poses. But, the term ‘yoga’ is beyond this. It is a popular practice that connects the body, mind, and, spirit through different body postures and controlled breathing.
Even the medical professionals and researchers have proved the benefits of yoga. Yoga postures are not about bending or twisting the body but, transforming the body and life through several poses.
Here we will explore one of the most effective yoga poses that is ‘Eka Pada Rajakapotasana’, which is also known as ‘One-legged Pigeon Pose’ and ‘Full Pigeon Pose’. It stretches the entire lower body, relieves the stress and anxiety and improves various health issues including, the functioning of urinary and reproductive systems.
Like other asanas, it is best to practice one-legged pigeon pose in the early morning on an empty bowel. If you are not a morning person, then you can it practice it in the evening. Make sure you have your meals at least four to six hours before you practice this asana.

Note: Eka Pada Rajakapotasana is a preparatory pose of Kapotasana (Pigeon Pose). Basically, there are three primary versions of pigeon pose including, first variation (simple pigeon pose), the mermaid pose and the full pose is one-legged king pigeon (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana).
Simple pigeon pose or the first stage of pigeon pose, Bhujangasana, Vriksasana, Trikonasana are the preparatory poses of Eka Pada Rajakapotasana.
