While you do Padma Asana, always sit on a mat or a thick piece of cloth.

Be seated on the mat, and stretch the legs forward and join them together. Remain in this position and balance yourself properly just for a few seconds.

Fold the right leg in a disciplined manner and place the heel of the right foot on the left side of the navel.

Now, fold the left leg and keep the left heel on the right side of the navel.
