How to do Lotus Pose (Padmasana) ?
Steps -
1) Sit on the floor or mat with leg straight.
2) Slowly fold the left leg from knee
and place the left foot heel on right thigh as close to navel as possible.
3) Now fold the right leg from knee
and place the right foot on the left thigh as close to navel as possible.
4) Take any mudra (hand gesture) and rest your wrist
on the knee. I prefer Dhyaan Mudra & Gyan Mudra.
Note -
a) You can change leg position, if posture becomes uncomfortable.
b) Your both knees should touch or
rest on the ground.
c) Your spine or backbone must be
straight or erect.
Benefit -
a) This Pose helps to relax and calm your mind.
b) This pose
strengthen your lower body muscle including ankles, calf's and thighs etc.

Those who are unable to do Lotus Pose,
they can try ''Half Lotus Pose'' (Ardha Padmasana).
