The lotus position is more than just a yoga pose—it's a representation of balance, calm, and spiritual awakening. Known as Padmasana in Sanskrit, it helps stabilize the body and calm the mind during meditation. Sitting in this cross-legged position opens the hips, strengthens the spine, and promotes mental clarity. It's ideal for breath control practices (pranayama) and chakra alignment. While it requires flexibility in the hips and knees, consistent practice and preparatory poses can make it accessible over time. Even a few minutes in lotus position can cultivate deep inner stillness and focus. Always listen to your body and ease into the pose gently.
