Eagle Pose

When you nail this, it feels like a full-body squeeze and a deep shoulder stretch all at once. Stand tall and cross your right leg over your left, hooking your foot around your calf if you can—if you can't, just cross it and press your knee forward. Wrap your arms with elbows bent, right arm underneath, pressing your palms together (or back-to-back if full grip isn't there yet). Square your hips forward and sink into your standing leg. You'll feel intensity in your hip and shoulder on the working side. Keep breathing. If the crossed-leg version is too much, stand with feet together and focus on the arm position.
