Overview :

Sukha, meaning “pleasure” or “comfort,” and asana, meaning “pose.”

Steps to Perform :

Step 1:

Take one or two thick blankets and fold them so that they form a firm, flat base that you can sit on

Step 2:

Sit close to one edge of the support you formed, with your legs stretched out ahead, in front of you.

Step 3:

Cross your shins and widen your knees, so that you can slip each foot, beneath the opposite knee.

Step 4:

Bend your knees and fold your legs towards your torso

Step 5:

Keep your feet relaxed, so that the outer edges rest on the floor and the inner arches are settled below the opposite shin. Your thighs and crossed shins should form a small triangle. There should be a gap between your pelvis and feet.

Step 6:

Sit with your pelvis in a neutral position. To do this, press your hands against the floor and lift your sitting bones a bit. Try to hang in there for a breath or two and then slowly lower yourself back on to the floor.
