How to do Eagle Pose
An intermediate balance pose, step by step.
- 1From a slight squat in Chair Pose, shift your weight onto the left foot.
- 2Cross the right thigh over the left and, if you can, hook the right foot behind the left calf.
- 3Cross the left arm under the right, then bend the elbows and wind the forearms until the palms meet.
- 4Lift the elbows to shoulder height and reach the fingertips up.
- 5Sit a little lower and fix your gaze on one point to balance.
Alignment tips
- →Skip the foot hook and rest the toes down as a kickstand if balance is hard.
- →Lift the elbows and draw the shoulders down the back to open between the shoulder blades.
Common questions about Eagle Pose
What does Garudasana mean?
Garudasana is named after Garuda, the mythical eagle and mount of Vishnu — the limbs wrap and bind like an eagle's folded wings.
What is Eagle Pose good for?
It builds balance and focus while stretching the upper back, shoulders, outer hips and thighs — a satisfying release for tight shoulders.
What if I can't wrap my arms or legs in Eagle?
Hug yourself with the arms crossed instead of fully winding them, and keep the lifted toes on the floor. You still get most of the stretch and the balance work.

Three sizes: 8×12" (£19.99), 16×24" (£25.99) and 24×36" (£39.99). Every print ships unframed. Free UK shipping over £60.
