If you practice this form of physical activity, you may have heard about the pregnancy yoga eagle pose. It's one of the best poses for expectant moms. This posture reduces tension in shoulders and upper back, strengthens blood vessels, and improves balance. The pregnancy yoga eagle pose is also known as garudasana. This asana develops strength, focus, and flexibility.
This posture is named after an ancient god. Garuda was the mythological Hindu "king of the birds." His name means "eagle" in Sanskrit. Various studies have shown that the eagle pose increases blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, relieves tension in your back, and improves flexibility in the hips and knees. It can be safely practiced by people with asthma or back pain.
To practice this asana, stand in mountain pose (tadasana). Put your weight on the right foot and cross your left thigh over your right. Bend your knees. Lift your arms and wrap your left elbow over the right. Keep wrapping your arms until the palms come together. Hold for up to one minute. Repeat on the other side. If you're a beginner, rest your backside on a wall.
When practiced regularly, this pose will strengthen your legs and joints. It will increase your lung capacity and improve breathing. It is recommended to practice this asana against a wall if you suffer from hypertension, headaches, or inner problems.
