How to Master Padmasana?

To practise Padmasana safely, you need to be able to fully close your knee joint, to prevent any torque (twisting) at the knee. The knee is a hinge joint which means it has little-to-no patience for twisting movements! “Closing the knee joint” means bending the knee and pressing the calf against the thigh.

How can I improve my Padmasana?

Initiate the pose by sitting down on the floor with your legs straight and stretched out in front of you. Now gently bend the knees and bring the lower leg into a cradle. Make use of your hands to gently place the leg on the left thigh. Now slowly repeat the same with the other leg too.

Why is Padmasana difficult?

Why Padmasana is difficult for common mass? Stiffness in the spine, knee, ankle and hip joint makes the Padmasana difficult for practitioner. Stiffness in the muscles and joints are due to access protein intake, sedentary lifestyle (lack of movement), genetic disorders etc.
