    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
    Gabrielle 🙂
