Life is for living. Breathe. Move. Be.

Technique of execution
Sit in Dandasana, bend your legs at the knees and pull them towards the body.
Arrange your feet so that the heel of one leg is under the knee of the other.
Align the body and feel the support under the sitting bones.

Control points

✔ sit bones on the floor;

✔ back straight;

✔ stretching up behind the crown;

✔ hips relaxed;

✔ chin slightly tucked in;

✔ lower ribs and stomach pulled in.

Mistakes

X rounding in the back – no extension behind the crown upwards;

X pelvis tilted back;

X feet too far from the pelvis;

X knees high off the floor.

Simplifications

✔ sit on a block or a rolled-up blanket;

✔ place a blanket under your hips;

✔ sit against a wall.

Injury prevention
When holding for a long time, discomfort in the knees may occur – in this case, you can use support, put something under the knees. Also, in Sukhasana, discomfort in the back often occurs – for example, due to the forward tilt of the pelvis, the load on the lower back increases. We try to find a comfortable position where the muscles will not be overstrained, and the body can be relaxed and at the same time collected.

Contraindications
knee and ankle injuries.
