I'm Linda Black, we're continuing with the joint stabilization mobilization sequence.
We ended up in our powerful pose, seated back bend. We're going to do something for the
shoulders stretching them back now so that the chest, while shifting the weight again
over into the right leg and crossing the left leg under and around. This is Eagle Pose.
The arms are going to wrap with the left arm cross on top, if I'm marrying you, and the
hands coming towards the back side of shoulder. This is shoulder stretching on the upper back.
If you have the ability or an agility, you can bring the palms of the hands together
and hold Eagle Pose in this manner. Squeezing the thighs from our support. Going to the
other side, we'll just come out of that pose and right into the second side, shifting the
weight now onto the left leg, left arm comes under, right arm over, yes, here we go. Again,
wrapping the forearms together, placing the palms, the hands as much as you can getting
into be together. It's important to fit the pose to your body and not try to fit your
body to the pose. So maybe possible to bring the toe to the floor, especially if you've
got a knee that you're nursing or trying to strengthen. So take some of the weight and
pressure off of the knee. You could also use a block underneath the toe. Or bring the leg
all the way behind squeezing the thighs, in nice firm support to balance this eagle on
the mountain. Coming out, arms over head, finish in Tadasana.
