Answer:
Asana is a posture, originally and still a general term for a seated meditation pose, later expanded in hatha yoga and modern yoga as an exercise for any type of posture, adding lying, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses.
Explanation:
An asana useful in diabetes is Padmasana
Padmasana is the Sanskrit name for the famous yoga asana, otherwise known as the Lotus Pose. This is a seated position in which the legs are crossed and the feet are placed on opposite thighs in the hip flexion. The term is derived from two Sanskrit roots; padma meaning 'lotus' and asana meaning 'seat' or 'posture'.
Padmasana is an intermediate to advanced pose that requires great flexibility in the knees and hips. Before practicing this position, practitioners should warm up the body with movement exercises. If the upper knee does not reach the floor, a blanket or block can be used for support. Beginners can work their way up to padmasana by first practicing ardha padmasana (half lotus pose) in which only one leg is placed at the hip. People with injured or weak ankles or knees, sciatica, or severe back pain should avoid Padmasana.
