How to come into a comfortable Cross-Legged Sukhasana (easy Yoga Pose)

By: Jessica Outlaw
  • Place a folded blanket or bolster under your sits bones to elevate your hips. Make sure the support puts you up high enough so that the knees are below the hips. Cross at your shins or ankles.
  • Rest your hands on knees or your thighs. Place palms facing up for receptive energy or palms face down for grounding energy.
  • Sit up nice and tall, without becoming rigid. Take a posture of poise.
  • Let the weight of your body descend through your hips, legs and feet to root you to the ground, to the earth beneath you. In opposition your torso and spine extend upwards, crown of the head floats up.
  •  Let your shoulders fall away from your ears lengthening your neck. Then roll your shoulders down your back.
  • Gently gather your shoulder blades towards one another: the shoulder blades cradle the heart and the lungs. Feel the collar bones wide, chest open.
  • Soften your jaw. Increase the space between your eyebrows and let any tension slip from you facial features

Benefits of Sukhasana

  • Stretches the knees and ankles
  • Opens the hips
  • Strengthens the back
  • Stretches the spine.
