How to do the Eagle Pose

1) Stand in Tadasana (mountain pose), with your feet together and arms at your sides.

2) While keeping your palms open, cross your right arm over your left and raise your left arm with your hand stretching towards the ceiling.

3) Bring your palms together as close as possible, depending on your flexibility.  Your fingers should be pointed upwards.

4) While maintaining the position of your arms, slightly bend your knees without going over your toes.

5) Slowly lift your left leg, cross it to your right thigh as you curve your right foot around your left calf.  Inhale and hold it for 15 to 30 seconds before you exhale and return to Tadasana.  Repeat the steps by switching your arms and legs.
