Easy Pose (Sukhasana)
Easy Pose is a beginner posture used in the beginning and end of practice. While the name and posture may seem simple, it can be quite the challenge to maintain this posture! Keeping the back straight and the hips in alignment in Easy Pose are the two main things to keep in mind. Some Yogi’s who spend a lot of time sitting in chairs may find Easy Pose challenging at first, but in the long run will find the benefits to be rewarding. Knee issues use caution.
To do Easy Pose, begin in Staff Pose, with the legs out front. If needed, use a blanket under the hips to help with posture. Pull one leg in, then the other, sitting with the ankles crossing. In Easy Pose, it is important to be aware of posture and become energetically grounded.
