What is Padmasana (Lotus Pose)?
Padmasana, also known as the Lotus pose, is a cross-legged yoga posture that helps deepen meditation by soothing the mind and treating various physical and mental illnesses. Regular practice of this position contributes to the total blossoming of the practitioner like that of a lotus, hence the name is Padmasana. In Tibetan, Chinese, and Buddhist culture, the Padmasana pose is also known as Vajra Pose.
