Kapotasana ({{lang-sa|कपोतासन}}; IAST: Kapotāsana) or Pigeon Pose[1] is a kneeling back-bending asana in modern yoga. Etymology and originsThe name comes from the Sanskrit words kapota (कपोत) meaning "pigeon"[1] and asana (आसन) meaning "posture" or "seat".[2] A different (standing) pose is given the name Kapotasana in the 19th century Sritattvanidhi.[3] The modern pose is described in the 20th century in Light on Yoga.[4] DescriptionA pose from the Ashtanga tradition is an advanced asana which resembles Chakrasana, or Wheel Pose. The shins and forearms are on the ground, the front body stretched upwards in the air. The pose is reached by going into a backbend with knees on the ground. It requires flexibility to bring the head back until it reaches the ground. Kapotasana is an asana which helps to open up the chest and also strengthens the back and groin. It opens and increases the flexibility of the hips[5], at the same time strengthening the back, and stretching the thighs and the groin. There is a quite different pose sometimes referred to as pigeon pose, but properly called King Pigeon or Rajakapotasana. See also
