Flying Pigeon / Eka Pada Galavasana
An Asana Deconstructed Series with Robin Penney
In this Asana Deconstructed Series, we’ll learn to break down and refine Flying Pigeon (or Eka Pada Galavasana). This is a challenging arm balance, BUT there are several little pieces to it that we can work on together, and once you have the flexibility and the strength, PLUS learn a few tricks, it’s likely you’ll fly!!!
AND, you’ll learn a lot of things (physically, and into the deeper levels of the heart and the mind) that will feed your yoga practice in other ways as well.
By breaking this pose down into it’s component parts and working on skillful actions in the body, our yoga practice as a whole can become more mindful, unified, and joyful.
And by learning different variations of the pose, we can make informed, intelligent choices to our own approach to practicing this posture based on our own range of motion, strength, and mobility, not to mention our energy level on a particular day.

Robin’s teaching style is both infectious and contagious. I love her slow, soft, & gentle voice. Robin has a playful, yet very specific way of teaching. She’s quite thorough and provides great detail. I enjoyed the Flying Pigeon series tremendously! Thank you, Robin! ❤️
Love practicing and learning with Robin. Robin brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to every practice which influences and motivates me every time I step on my mat. Lots of love and respect for Robin, a great teacher and a beautiful person to share all things yoga with.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in this online class. I will continue to practice and use the learning materials into the upcoming year. The materials Robin presented were detailed, thorough and also encouraging. I‘m not sure I’ll ever get to this pose but it doesn’t matter since the strength I’m building along the way is important to me now. I look forward to working with Robin on future courses.
