Now, fold any one leg (preferably left) and keep it in the center (heel close to the center of body).
Fold the other leg so that heel comes in alignment to the heel in center.
Adjust, to make the spine straight to feel the curve of spine.
Keep the hands on the knees either in mudra or with palms facing up.
BENEFITS
Excellent as a beginners pose to open up the major joints of the body.
Puts minimum tension on the muscular system & skeleton framework, so due to less pressure the circulation in the lower limbs is not hampered due to the weight of the body.
Checks the loss of prana as the 3 organs of action (both legs & excretory organs) are blocked.
