Practising
these bhadrasana poses will help you to achieve the
lotus. Sit with spine erect and soles of the feet together, heels
close to the body. For the Ankle-knee pose, press your knees forward
with a straight back. For the Butterfly, right, clasp your feet
and move your knees up and down.
The
lotus
- To
assume the Lotus position, start by sitting with your legs out
in a "V" shape in front of you, with spine erect. Bend
one knee and bring the foot in, placing it high on the thigh.
Now bring the second foot in. If you place it under the opposite
thigh, you form the Half Lotus
- The
Half lotus(Ardha Palmasan)
which
is easier at first, and can be used for meditation and pranayama
until your legs are more supple. For the full Lotus, you lift
the second leg in over the first placing the foot high on the
opposite thigh. In the classic Lotus, the left leg is on top,
and the knees touch the floor.
