Eagle Pose (Garudasana)

Eagle Pose wraps your body around itself. One leg crosses over the other. One arm wraps beneath the opposite arm. Your knees bend, your center of gravity lowers, and the space your body occupies becomes smaller. Yet the challenge is to create length and stability within that compression.

On the Warrior’s Path, Eagle Pose represents focus. When movement becomes restricted and your balance becomes uncertain, you learn to direct your attention toward what matters and find space within limitation.
