The Easy Pose is a relaxation pose that is normally
practiced after the Corps Pose.
Also known as Sukhasana, the Easy Pose is perfect for
meditation. To execute this pose sit on the floor or
Yoga mat, bend the knees, clasp the arms around them and
press until the reach the chest and the spine erects.
Now release the arms and place the legs in a crossing
position, letting the knees fall to the floor. Be
certain the hands are on the knees and the palms are
facing up.
It is important to keep the head up and the spine erect.
Breathing is also important during this pose. Fill the
lungs with air and hold it as long as comfortable. It is
best to breathe in through the nose. The face, jaws and
belly should be relaxed.
This pose should be avoided after a chronic or recent
knee injury or inflammation as it could bring great
discomfort. To add to the comfort level, place a folded
blanket under the knees or hipbones.
This pose is highly recommended for meditation because
it is not difficult to perform and it promotes inner
calm and relaxation.
