The most important thing is to find the most appropriate sitting pose depending on the physical challenges of the person. Although some exercises can be perform better in one position than other, there are always variations that can be done instead, and build it up from there with time. One of the most important aspects to remember no matter what position you choose it’s to keep the spine straight, not too bend forward, or back. A neutral position of the spine will be optimum to allow the flow of energy, called Kundalini, to take place. This neutral position it is the most advisable when meditating. At the beginning most of the people feel as one of the legs, or both, get sleep. This is due to the cut of circulation when the legs are crossed. With time the yogi will be able to expend longer periods of time without moving. If you are a beginner just remember the first limb of Patanjali, “Ahimsa”, which means not violence, and starts with yourself. You are in this path to enjoy the process not to get burn out the first day. In the end, no one sitting pose it is better than other. It is about finding the one that suits you better. Once you find stability in your practice you will be able to sit for longer periods of time without moving, and without pain. Stability of your practice will bring you stability of the mind and stability of the mind will bring you stability in happiness. Basic Sitting Positions Table of Contents
