Benefits of Sukhasana (the Easy Sitting Pose)
Оглавление•Sukhasana strengthens the back and stretches the knees and ankles. It also opens the hips, groin, and outer thigh muscles (abductors). Sitting upright with your spine aligned also reduces stress and anxiety. It calms the mind and is known to be therapeutic for stress.
•Sukhasana is the most suited sitting posture for beginners. It’s good for practice of meditation and Pranayama. Those who have tight hips cannot sit in advanced postures like Padmasana. For them Sukhasana is the easiest alternative.
•Once you’re comfortable with Sukhasana, you should move on to more advanced sitting postures like Ardha Padmasana, Padmasana or Sidhasana for meditation. If you’re meditating for less than 30 minutes per session, Sukhasana may be sufficient. But to hold the body steady for longer durations, one needs to adopt more advanced sitting postures.
