🦅 Eagle teaches us how to draw energy to the midline — not to harden, but to gather. Inner thighs gently hug in. Forearms lift. Sternum rises. Hips sit back so the heart can stay buoyant.
Misty’s using a block under the foot here as a reminder that support creates access. When we feel steadied from below, we can explore intensity without overwhelm.
In yoga mythology, Garuda is a symbol of clarity, devotion, and the courage to face constriction without losing purpose. The bind isn’t meant to trap us — it’s meant to focus us.
This is where tapas lives.
Not punishment. Not pushing.
But the steady inner heat that comes from showing up with intention, even when things feel tight.
🦅Eagle asks:
Can you stay present with effort without turning against yourself?
Can you build strength while still being kind?
Sometimes drawing inward — to the midline, to the breath, to your values — is what allows you to rise.
Belonging, practiced even in the bind.
