Sit with legs crossed. here we bring the right elbow out in front of us and under the left elbow. Wrap the arms as tightly as you can, and try to bring your palms together. If you can\u2019t bring the palms together, just fake it and call it “Eagle Soars” instead of Eagle Arms. If you would like to go to a deeper edge, lean forward and rest your elbows onto a block or bolster. <\/p>\n

Cow Face Pose <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Quick Teaching Tips<\/h4>\n

Knees<\/strong>
\nKnees stacked on top of each other.<\/p>\n

Ground<\/strong>
\nGround through your sitting bones.<\/p>\n

Inhale<\/strong>
\nOn an inhale, lengthen your spine.<\/p>\n

Walk<\/strong>
\nWalk your hand up between your shoulder blades, palm facing outwards.<\/p>\n

Hook<\/strong>
\nHook the fingers together, if they reach.<\/p>\n

Shoulder blades<\/strong>
\nFirm your shoulder blades against your back ribs.<\/p>\n

Modifications<\/h4>\n

Start From All Fours<\/strong>
\nIf you find it difficult to get into this pose, start the pose from all fours and cross your legs bringing your left knee to the inside of your right knee. Lower your hips in between your feet.<\/p>\n

Folded Blanket<\/strong>
\nIf your sitting bones are not evenly resting on the floor, sit on a folded blanket, a yoga block or a cushion.<\/p>\n

Half Pigeon Pose\u00a0<\/strong>
\nDo everything the same except get into Half Pigeon Pose<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strap\u00a0<\/strong>
\nIf the fingertips don\u2019t meet do the Cow face pose with a strap<\/a>. Hold the strap with the top hand, the lower hand can just grab the strap.<\/p>\n

Fold Forward<\/strong>
\nYou can intensify the stretch in this pose by folding forward. Keep the weight in your sitting bones, not on your knees. Fold forward while you hold the arm position. If, however, you feel that folding forward reduces your stress, either in the shoulders or in the hips, don\u2019t fold forward. You can do this version of the Cow Face pose<\/a> in many different basic Yin Yoga postures, such as the Straddle pose<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kneeling<\/strong>
\nDo Cow face pose kneeling<\/a> instead of with legs crossed over each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
