This variation of Tree pose uses Eagle pose arms instead of arms overhead, both for variety and to challenge your balance a bit more, especially if you are proficient at classic Tree pose. In addition, the Eagle pose arm position stretches your shoulders and upper back muscles in a different way than the classic Tree pose arm position.
