How to do a Pigeon (Active, High)
On your fours, place a knee towards the same side's hand with the foot aimed to the opposite side. Shift your weight to the rear slightly so that your glutes are stretched. Then lift your back leg up and hold this position actively. Aim to have your pelvis square and your spine neutral throughout this hold. You should feel this active stretch in your glutes and possibly in the inner thigh as well.
