| Among these
four, Siddhasana is the most important. Siddhasana Is
done in this way: Sit on the floor. Stretch the legs in front. Bend the left leg at the
knee. Place the left heel at the beginning of the right leg so that its sole touches the
right leg. Bend the right leg at the knee. Take this leg above the left leg and place the
right heel at the beginning of the left leg. Let the sole touch the other leg. Sit erect.
Stretch the arms in front. Keep the back of the hands on
the respective knees so that the palms look up. Join the thumb and the forefinger in each
hand. Direct the gaze to the nose-tip. Relax. After a few minutes change the legs and
repeat.
The constant practice of this asana gives one excellent
health and peace of mind. There are many modern books on yoga asanas too. You will read
them as you grow. |
