Your back left leg should extend straight out of the hip behind you and rotate slightly inward. Using your breath inhale and exhale as you drape your body over the right leg coming up on the inhale and folding over on the exhale. Stay with the first stage of the pigeon pose for at least 2-3 minutes.
