eagle pose

Twisted standing balance

Eagle pose is a standing yoga posture where one leg wraps around the other while the arms intertwine in front of the body, creating a twisted, compressed position.

The pose requires balance and flexibility, with practitioners resembling a perched eagle with folded wings: Hold eagle pose for five breaths on each side.

Known in Sanskrit as Garudasana.
