The name comes from the Sanskrit words garuda (गरुड) meaning "eagle", and asana (आसन) meaning "pose".
In Hindu mythology, Garuda is known as the king of birds. He is the vahana (mount) of the God Vishnu and is eager to help humanity fight against demons. The word is usually rendered into English as "eagle", though the name literally means "devourer", because Garuda was originally identified with the "all-consuming fire of the sun's rays".
A one-legged balancing pose named Garudasana but closer to Vrikshasana is described and illustrated in the 19th century Sritattvanidhi.
Strengthens and stretches the ankles and calves. Stretches the thighs, hips, shoulders, and upper back. Improves concentration. Improves sense of balance.
People with leg, knee, back injuries. Ankle and Shoulder issue should avoid practicing this asana.
Those who are suffering with low blood pressure issue make sure do under guidance or avoid this pose.
