Sukhasana β¨
Sukh - happy or joyful
Asana - pose
Sukhasana, also known as easy sit pose is the go to meditation position. However, as we grow older this pose may not be as comfortable as when we were kids. Our joints no longer naturally have the flexion to get into this position as easily as they once did.
There are many ways to make sukhasana comfortable for you!
β¨ Sit in a chair
Upright spine and feet flat on the floor (or on blocks!)
β¨ Sit on a folded blanket or even on a block to help lift the spine
β¨ Place blocks underneath the outer hips. This is helpful if your hips are tight and feel tension there as your knees fall towards the floor.
