Sidhasana is similar to Padmasana and suits many people especially over weight people with big thighs but it’s not suitable for ladies. Siddhasana is suitable for improving a person's concentration.

The Sanskrit word siddha (pronounced sidd-hah) means both ‘perfect’ and ‘adept.’ In yoga, an adept isn’t just a skillful practitioner, but an accomplished master who has worked to attain inner freedom.

Sidhasana or the Accomplished Pose is an asana used for meditation and other yogic practices. For practitioners of meditation, the importance of Sidhasana is only second to Padmasana. Some say Sidhasana is the best of all asanas for meditation. The text says that Sidhasana purifies all the 72,000 energy channels in the body, through which the Prana flows. This asana can be practiced by anyone, except those suffering from sciatica or sacral infections.

Many yoga masters in long-gone eras preferred this posture and used it often in place of the lotus posture.

The Sidhasana improves the flexibility of your hips, knees, and ankles, and strengthens the back. It differs from Svastikasana, in that you tuck your feet into your thighs between the thighs and calves on both sides. The posture is considered the perfect meditation posture for anyone practicing celibacy. Siddhasana is also beneficial for men with various prostate problems.
