Swasthikasana Yoga Asana:

Swasthikasana also spelled as Svastikasana, is one of the seated yoga postures used for meditation. It is easier to perform when compared to Adept Posture and Lotus Posture, yet provides most of the benefits one can get from those yoga postures.

Swasthikasana Yoga Asana Steps:

• Sit on the floor with legs stretched out.
• Fold the left leg and place the sole of the left foot against the inner side of the right thigh, so that there is a gap between the perineum and the left heel.
• Bend the right leg and place the right foot in between the calf muscles and left thigh. Similarly on the right side, pull the toes up to correctly place the sole of the left leg in between the right thigh and calf muscles of the right leg. Now adjust the feet are uniformly placed.
• Sit erect so that the trunk, neck, and head are in a straight line. Place the hands on the lap or in Chin Mudra or Jnana Mudra. Close the eyes. Fix your mind in between the eyebrows.
