Easy Yoga Pose - Sukhasana

alt
Type of yoga pose: seated

Sukhasana presents an extremely comfortable, cross-legged, seated position. It is a nice pose for meditation or pranayama practice.

Instructions for getting into this yoga pose:


1. First of all, you need to arrange padding under your sit bones so that your hips were above your knees.

2. The next step is sitting in a comfortable position with crossed legs.

3. Now you should get one heel towards your groin. The second foot can lie on the floor in front of you. You may also put it on your lap.

4. Finally you are to root your seat down as your spine grows long. Now you should stack your shoulders over the hips and slide the shoulder blades down your back. Notice that the crown of your head must rise towards the ceiling.
