Modern Yoga Fitness Studio / Meditation Instructor / Personal Trainer / Life Coach / Healer / Reiki Master / Massage Therapy Banner Template - The Graceful Watercolor Painting Of A Girl As She Balances In One-Legged King Pigeon Pose. Eka Pada Rajakapotasana Meaning Eka Pada Rajakapotasana Translates Into “one-legged King Pigeon Pose”: “eka” For “one,” “pada” For “leg” Or “foot,” “raja” For “king,” “kapota” For “pigeon,” And, Finally, “asana” For “posture” Or “seat.” Like Many Popular Vinyasa Poses, One-legged King Pigeon First Starts Showing Up In The Work Of Bks Iyengar And Pattabhi Jois, Both Students Of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya — So It Likely Started Appearing Between The 1930s And The 1950s. While Pigeons Hold Significance In Vedic And Hindu Mythology — They Represent Yama, God Of Death And Justice — That Doesn’t Mean That Pigeon Pose Is About Anything More Than Just A Pigeon. Iyengar, In His 1966 Book Light On Yoga, Says It’s Called King Pigeon Because “the Chest Is Pushed Forward Like That Of A Strutting Pigeon” Or A Pouter Pigeon.
