POSE FOR STABILITY 
 
Eagle Pose - Garudasana:
 
1. Standing tall with feet hip distance apart and parallel with each other, bring hands to hips or heart.

2. Slightly bend knees, as if starting to sit back in a chair (Don't go too far!) shift body weight back into heels.

3. Bring weight into left leg, lifting right knee into air and then crossing legs at the knee (inner thighs together). 
    -For balance, place toes of right foot on a block placed to the outside of left foot. 
    -To deepen, wrap right leg even deeper around left, hooking right foot behind left calf.

4. Keeping legs where they are, open arms wide at shoulder height, palms facing forward.

5. Cross arms over each other, right, under left. Arm placement options include:
   -Place hands on shoulders
   -Bring backs of hands together
   -Continue to wrap arms around each other, bringing right pinkie, towards left thumb with palms together.

6. Lift elbows towards shoulder height and continue to sink hips back, lengthening tailbone towards the earth. 

7. Breathe and find balance and increased focus. Notice as the mind wanders, the balance wavers. Return to that still quiet space deep withing where there is stillness.

8. Repeat other side.
