Translations:Comfortable position/9/en

Simple crossed leg position

Sit down on a floor on on a Yoga mat. Make sure your spine is straight and aligned with the head and neck. Cross your shins, widen your knees, and slip each foot beneath the opposite knee as you bend your knees and fold the legs in toward your torso. Your arms rest on your laps.

• In Sanskrit, this body position is called Sukhasana, meaning "Comfortable pose", or "Pleasure pose". It is not a stable pose, as you can slouch easily, but it is a good solution for the people with knee problems, or for short training sessions.
• For all crossed leg positions, it is a good idea to start mastering them with folded blankets or cushions for some extra support.
