Siddhasana

-

Scientific Reason

The siddhasana improves the flexibility of your hips, knees, and ankles, and strengthens the back. It differs from svastikasana, in that you tuck your feet into your thighs between the thighs and calves on both sides. The posture is considered the perfect meditation posture for anyone practicing celibacy. Siddhasana is also beneficial for men with various prostate problems.

  2. Shake your legs out in front of you a few times. Bend your left knee, and bring your left heel into your groin near the perineum (the area between the anus and the genitals).
  3. Stabilise your left ankle with your left hand. Bend your right knee and slide your right heel toward the front of your left ankle.
  4. Lift your right foot, position your right ankle just above your left ankle, and bring your right heel into the genital area.
  5. Tuck the little-toe side of your right foot between your left thigh and your calf.Place your hands, palms down, on the same-side knee, with your arms relaxed.
  6. Straighten and extend your back and neck, bringing your head up nice and tall; look straight ahead.
