Sukhasana (easy pose)
Sit with the legs stretched in front of the body. Fold the right foot under the left thigh; fold the left foot under the right thigh. Place the hands on the knees in chin orjnana mudra.
Keep the head, neck and back straight. Practice note: Once the practitioner can perform any of the
other sitting asanas comfortably, sukhasana should be disregarded, as it does not give the necessary support to the spine for correct breathing practices.
Ardha Padmasana (half-lotus pose)
Sit with the legs stretched out in front of the body. Fold the left leg and place the left foot beside the right thigh.
