Hi
I am fine with the legs for Eagle Pose, just wondering if there is a tip on how to twist the palms so the thumbs are facing the correct way.  Just cant get it into my head

Thanks

Hi Jo-Anne

There is a very simple formula for that (which is discussed in my manual and also pictured step by step in the Private Members’ Pose Clinics).

>> Bring your arms up over your head
>> When you lower your arms to cross them start with your palms facing inward (your thumbs will be closest to your body
>> Just keep the direction of your palms constant and don’t change them even as you cross your arms
>> In other words your, no twisting of your hands, and your thumbs stay closer to your body the whole time!!!

Voila! And you don’t even have to think about it.

Namaste
