Garudasana – The Eagle Pose 🦅

Many people are surprised to learn that this asana is not actually intended to represent an eagle, despite its common English name. Instead, the posture symbolizes the moment in the Ramayana when the hero Rama is captured on the battlefield of Lanka, bound tightly by serpents during a confrontation with Ravana’s son, Meghnad (Indrajit). Garuda descends from the heavens, devours the snakes, and frees Rama, allowing him to return to the battle to rescue his wife.
How to Do It (Step-by-Step)

1.Start in Tadasana (Mountain Pose).
Stand tall with your feet together, grounding evenly through both legs.

2.Bend your knees slightly.
Shift your weight onto your right foot.

3.Wrap the left leg around the right.
Cross the left thigh over the right and, if possible, hook the left foot behind the right calf.
If this isn’t accessible, simply cross the legs without hooking the foot.

4.Bring your arms forward.
Extend both arms straight in front of you at shoulder height.

5.Wrap the right arm under the left.
Bend the elbows and twist so that the palms (or backs of the hands) touch.
If the palms don’t meet, bring the backs of the hands together.

6.Find your balance.
Lift your elbows slightly while dropping your shoulders. Keep your spine tall and your gaze steady.

7.Hold the pose.
Maintain the position for 20–30 seconds, breathing deeply.

8.Release with control.
Unwind the arms and legs, returning to Mountain Pose.
Repeat on the opposite side.

🧘‍♀️ Bharadvajāsana is a seated spinal twist named after the ancient sage Bharadvāja, who is credited with composing hymns collected in the Vedas.

This pose is a gentle yet powerful twist that invites grounding, lengthening, spaciousness, and calm from the inside out.

🌿 What I love about this posture is that, as a spinal twist, it allows us to feel the deep relationship between grounding ourselves on the floor, taking a nice long inhale, and exhaling into the twist.

How to Do It
1. Start Seated:

Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. If your hips or lower back feel tight, sit on a folded blanket.

2. Bend One Leg:

Internally rotate your right leg and bend the knee.

3. Prepare Lotus (If Accessible) With the Other Leg;

Bring your left leg into lotus. If lotus position is not accessible, bring your foot toward the right thigh instead. Keep your sitting bones grounded as evenly as possible. Press your sitting bones down, inhale, and lift through the crown of your head to create space in your spine.

4. Begin the Twist:

On an exhale, reach your left hand around your back and hold your left foot. If you’re modifying, simply reach your left hand behind your back and rest it there. Place your right hand on the left knee.

5. Deepen:

Gently With each inhale, lift and lengthen. With each exhale, rotate very gently without forcing. Keep your shoulders relaxed. To End
On an exhale, soften and release the twist slowly. Smile, then repeat the pose on the opposite side! 😊

Remember: avoid forcing the twist—think length first, then rotate.

Key Benefits of Bharadvajāsana:
- Improves spinal mobility
- Releases tension in the lower back and shoulders
- Encourages deep, mindful breathing 🌿

Movement + Breath + Presence = Transformation 💆‍♀️
