GARUDASANA, the eagle pose

Garudasana is a must-do posture that combines balance, stability and flexibility, while providing many physical, mental and energetic benefits. It is not just a simple balancing posture, it is a complete practice that invites you to explore mindfulness and concentration.

Here are some of the assets that this sequence highlights:

- Deep Muscle Strengthening: Through the wrapping of the arms and legs, this pose actively engages the muscles of the upper back, shoulders, legs, and core. Perfect for students looking to strengthen their balance and stability.

- Improved flexibility and range of motion: Targeted stretches of the shoulders, hips and back promote increased mobility, ideal for counteracting the effects of sedentary positions.

- A tool for concentration and grounding: By working on balance, this sequence invites you to cultivate a deep connection between breath and movement, helping students to stay present and centered.

- A powerful de-stressor: The squeezing and releasing action in Garudasana helps release accumulated tension and stimulates energy flow, providing a deep feeling of relaxation and lightness.
