How to Do the Perfect Eagle Pose (Garudasana) - Complete Guide
Want to master Eagle Pose — the twisted balance challenge that builds concentration, stability, and full-body coordination? You're in the right place.
Perfect Eagle Pose (Garudasana) Technique
Eagle Pose (Garudasana) is a complex standing balance pose that challenges coordination, concentration, and stability. This pose wraps and twists both arms and legs, creating a unique binding sensation that requires focus and balance. Named after Garuda, the mythical eagle in Hindu mythology, this pose builds strength while improving flexibility in the shoulders, hips, and ankles. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper wrapping technique, balance alignment, and safe progression.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Standing Foundation:Begin in Mountain Pose, shift weight to left foot
- Leg Wrapping:Lift right thigh, cross over left thigh, hook right foot behind left calf
- Arm Setup:Extend arms forward at shoulder height, cross left arm over right
- Arm Binding:Bend elbows, wrap forearms, press palms together if possible
- Balance Hold:Sink into standing leg, lift elbows, find steady balance
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rushing the wrapping process without establishing balance
- Allowing standing hip to jut out to side
- Dropping elbows instead of lifting them up
- Holding breath during the challenging balance
- Forcing the foot hook if flexibility doesn't allow
- Looking around instead of finding a focal point
