How to do the Chair Eagle Pose

1. Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Cross one thigh over the other and, if you can, hook your top foot behind your lower calf.
3. Cross the opposite arm under the other at the elbows and bring your palms or the backs of your hands together.
4. Lift your elbows to shoulder height and breathe, then unwind and switch sides.

Tips

• Lift your elbows and draw them gently away from your face to feel your upper back.

Adjustments

• Simply cross your thighs and hug your shoulders if the full wrap feels like too much.
