Garuda-asana: eagle Posture
Steps:
- Stand with the feet together and the arms by your
sides
.
- Draw the left foot upward bending the knee and
wrap the left foot around your right leg as you rest
the back of your left thigh on the right thigh.
- Cross your arms at the elbows, left over right.
- Join the palms of your hands together keeping the
fingers pointed upward.
- Inhale and hold the posture for the duration of
the inhaled breath.
- Repeat the posture on the opposite side, wrapping
the right leg over the left and the right arm over
