Eagle Pose (Garudasana)

You stand tall with barely bent knees, which makes the wrap impossible to hold.

You hunch the torso forward as the limbs wind together.

You force the foot hook behind the calf before the balance is there.

Sit deeper into the standing leg while keeping the spine tall — the pose lives in that contradiction.

Lift the elbows to shoulder height and press the forearms gently away to feel the stretch spread across the upper back.

Rest the lifted foot's toes on the floor like a kickstand if the full hook is not available yet.
