During Eagle Pose on the right, which arm goes under which?

• A. Left Under Right
• B. Right Under Left
• C. Arms Crossed
• D. Both Arms Extended

Answer: (B)

In Eagle Pose, the binding comes from threading one arm under the other to wrap the arms around each other. On the right side, the right arm goes under the left, so the forearms cross and you can bring the palms to touch behind the upper back. This creates the secure bind that stabilizes the shoulders and torso while you balance in the pose. If the left arm went under the right, you’d be describing the opposite bind, not the right-side variation, and simply keeping the arms extended or merely crossed without binding wouldn’t give you that wrap and connection that defines Eagle Pose.
