Begin standing tall at the front of your mat. Shift all your weight into your left foot, and lift your right knee up toward your chest.
Cross your right knee in front of your left knee, and bend both knees slightly, trying to wrap your right toes around the back of your left calf.
Keeping your drishti (gaze) on one point in front of you, cross your left elbow over your right elbow. Work on bringing your right fingertips toward the base of your left palm, and then lift your elbows straight up toward the ceiling.
Hold Eagle pose for five breaths, and then lower the elbows to touch the knees, staying for another five in Crouching Eagle.
