Explanation:
Steps to perform Ardha Padmasana:
- Sit on your yoga mat in comfortable position with your legs crossed and feet tucked under your legs.
- Use your hands to bring your right foot on top of your left calf with the sole of the foot facing upwards.
- Just adjust your right foot as high as possible on your left thigh. Try to settle the top of the right foot into your left hip crease.
- Bent your left knee such that the left shin rests comfortably on the floor in a cross-legged position.
- Lift the crown of your head toward the ceiling and roll your shoulders away from your ears to keep the spine long. Your hands can rest on your thighs with the palms turned up or down.
- Rest in the position and take minimum of 10 breaths.
- Release and set yourself up with the right foot on the bottom and the left foot on top. One side will probably feel easier, but try to do both sides whenever you sit in the pose for more than a few breaths.
