Padmasana Or Lotus Pose<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Sanskrit name for this pose, “Padmasana” which comes from two words –<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Padma” \u2014 meaning “lotus”
\n“Asana” \u2014 meaning “pose”<\/p>\n

Those who do not know Yoga, also identify yoga with this pose. It is one of the classical poses, mentioned by Rishi Vyasa in Patanjali\u2019s Yoga Sutras. It is also one of the best grounding asanas, and very adept for meditation. When the spine is aligned in a proper manner, the Prana starts to flow, trough the Sushumna nadi. Thus, the Ajna chakra is awakened.<\/p>\n
