Why You Can't Do Eagle Arms, Cow Face & Reverse Namaste (Shoulder Cues Exposed)

Eagle Pose is officially yoga's most hated pose—ranking even higher than chinstand among yoga teachers. But the problem isn't you, it's how shoulder binds are taught. In this episode, we expose why "push your shoulders down" is one of the most damaging cues in yoga, what to do when your arms won't wrap in Eagle Pose, why Gomukhasana feels impossible, and why reverse namaste might never be accessible (and that's okay). We dive deep into collarbone mechanics, scapular rotation, and why most yoga teachers are cueing shoulders completely wrong.
