How to do Padmasana (Lotus Pose)
Padmasana is the most iconic of yoga asanas. It’s often synonymous with yoga and meditation.
When practiced safely padmasana can open the hips, stretch and strengthen the knee and ankle. It improves posture by creating strength and stability in the spine. It also tones the abdominal area which is said to improve digestion and alleviate menstrual cramps.
