STEPS : From a standing position, place one elbow on top of the other for your eagle arm bind. Lift your elbows in line with your shoulders and draw your forearms away from your face. If possible, keep wrapping your arms until your palms meet; otherwise press the back of your hands towards each other. Find a focal point in front of you and begin to shift your weight to one foot. Root down into your standing leg and lift your opposite leg behind you. Keep lifting it as you hinge your torso forward keeping your eagle arm bound. Hips stay squared and the knee of your floating leg faces downward. Flex your floating foot and engage your grounded leg.
