The Easy Pose
The Easy Pose is a relaxation pose and it is
normally practiced after the Corpse Pose.
Also known under the name of Sukhasana, the Easy Pose is great
for meditation. You only have to sit down on the floor, or on
your yoga mat, bend your knees, clasp your arms around them and
press them until they reach your chest and your spine erects.
Then, release your arms and place your legs in a crossing
position, letting your knees fall down to the floor. Make sure
you place your hands on your knees and your palms face up.
It is important to keep your head up and the position of your
spine as straight as possible. Just as it happens in the case
of most of the yoga poses, breathing is important in the Easy
Pose, as well. Thus, you have to make sure you fill you lungs
with air and hold it as long as it is comfortable. It is
advisable to always breathe through your nose. While sited in
the Easy Pose, relax your face, your jaws and your
belly.
Great for any age
group and for frequent practice, the Easy Pose is,
however, to be avoided after a chronic or recent knee
injury or inflammation, as it might bring you great
discomfort. In order to add to your comfort level you can
place a folded blanket either under your knees or under
your hipbones.
This pose is highly recommended for meditation, as it is not
difficult to perform and it promotes inner calm and
relaxation.
