NEW! Pose of the Week tutorial video + instructional photos - Garudasana 🧘🏾‍♀️ (Patreon)

Blessings Nude Yogis 🙏🏽

With Spring about, let's soar like an eagle in Garudasana - aka 'Eagle Pose'!

Garudasana is a standing balancing pose with a slight twist element. It's a very pretzel-ish pose...with all of our limbs intertwined...it's a lot in one pose, but it feels sooooo good in so many different parts of the body.

This (the full expression of the pose) is a more advanced level pose, but I do share more beginner-friendly variations/modifications in the tutorial video.

This pose is great for helping to improve balance, focus and concentration.

Benefits of this pose can include:

• improves flexibility of ankles, feet and hips 
• improves focus, balance and concentration 
• stretches upper back, shoulders, arms, wrists, hips, knees and ankles 
• strengthens feet, ankles and legs
• can help to detox the body as it is also a twist - can help to flush out kidneys
• circulates blood to your reproductive system 
• great for sciatica 
• great pose for runners 

Be sure to have a look through the instructional photos also.

Preparatory poses: practice these poses before coming into Garudasana. These preparatory poses will assist you in feeling more supported and ready to get into the pose.

• downward dog (folder 4)
• tree pose (folder 9)
• utkatasana (folder 26)

⚠️PLEASE PRACTICE WITH CAUTION/OR AVOID IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:⚠️

• avoid if you have either a elbow, knee or ankle injury
