Padmasana, also known as the Lotus position, is a cross-legged yoga posture that aids in the deepening of meditation by calming the mind and alleviating a variety of physical ailments. A regular practise of this posture, like a lotus, aids in the overall blossoming of the practitioner, hence the name Padmasana.
