To do Eagle Pose, begin standing and bring both arms out front. Next, bring the right arm under the left arm then bend the arms and wrap the right hand around the left for the palms to meet. At the same time, bend the right leg and wrap the left leg with the knee above the thigh to wrap the right foot around the left calf while leaning the hips back. Use the breath for balance and focus.
