While pigeons hold significance in Vedic and Hindu mythology — they represent Yama, god of death and justice — that doesn't mean that Pigeon Pose is about anything more than just a pigeon. Iyengar, in his 1966 book Light on Yoga, says it's called King Pigeon because “the chest is pushed forward like that of a strutting pigeon†or a pouter pigeon.
