In the left-side Eagle Pose, which arm configuration is described?

• A. Left Under Right
• B. Right Under Left
• C. Arms Linked
• D. Hands in Prayer

Answer: (A)

In this pose, the arm bind is created by threading one arm under the other. For the left-side variation, the left arm passes underneath the right arm as you wrap, so the arms wind around each other with the left arm beneath the right. The hands can then clasp behind the upper back (or in front as flexibility allows), forming the distinctive wrap on the left side. This specific under-over relationship is what distinguishes the left-side Eagle Pose from the right-side variation. The other options describe different possibilities (the opposite under-over arrangement, a simple linked weave, or a hands-in-prayer position) that do not capture the left-side bind.
