Kapotasana – King Pigeon Pose
Kapotasana is deep back bending pose. In some styles of yoga it’s called the King Pigeon and in other just Pigeon.
Paul Zaichik – Easy Flexibility – King Pigeon Pose
Unlike similar postures such as the Bridge or Wheel ( Urdhva Dhanurasan a) which works against gravity, the back bridge allows the gravity to assist the pose.
Traditionally Kapotasana is believed to be ideal for the female reproductive system and is recommended for women trying to conceive. It’s a part of Ashtanga Intermediate series.
Beyond therapeutic and yogic applications deep back bends allow for easier and more effective performance of skills involving stretching back. Martial arts, yoga, dance, figure skating and other disciplines can benefit from mastering this pose, if target skills involve back bending.
A traditional yoga method of obtaining this pose can take a long time. The reason for this is because yoga poses usually focus on many muscle groups at the same time.
The approach of this program is very different from standard yoga approaches. Instead of using other Asanas to prepare, Zaichik Stretching Techniques are used to isolate each muscle being stretched which results in a pain free, fast, easy and safe stretching method.
This allows to avoid stretch reflex and quickly gain flexibility. When the muscles are lengthened, the pose is put back together and progressed very quickly to full Kapotasana Pose.

Here’s a look inside the Kapotasana Online Training Program:
The pose is broken up into muscle groups. Each muscle group is stretches using patented techniques. These techniques use action vs action of the same muscle. This application avoids the pain of the stretch reflex, allowing for much quicker and safer flexibility gains. Having lengthened each tissue by itself, the pose is put back together.
Most people see amazing results just after the first time of trying this program.
