Swan Pose is a grounding yoga posture that creates space in the hips, improves spinal flexibility, and encourages deep breathing. Often practiced in Yin Yoga, it offers a passive stretch that helps release hip flexors, glutes, and lower back tension.
A variation of Pigeon Pose, Swan Pose in Yin Yoga is held for extended periods, allowing gravity to deepen the stretch. When transitioning into the Sleeping Swan Pose, the forward fold increases relaxation and promotes a meditative state.
