Ardha Padamasana

Exercise-45: Ardha padamasana (the half lotus pose)

• Sit with feet stretched in front of the body.
• Fold left leg and place left foot beside the right thigh.
• Fold right leg and place right foot on top of the left thigh.
• Keep back, neck and head straight.

Limitation–
Persons suffering from sciatica or sacral infections should avoid practicing this asana.
Benefits-
Same as for padamasana but at a reduced level.
This asana should be preferred to sukhasana since alternative placing of each foot in the elevated position will help prepare for padamasana and other classical meditative postures.
