Day 3 of Yoga For Beginners: 1 More Pose, Another Meditation Hack
2 min readMar 10, 2022
I’ve given you three very basic yoga poses so far. Now, you’ll have four to practice.
Today, You’ll Learn to Sit in Sukhasana, or “Easy Pose”
This is the simple cross-legged position you see in the yoga emoji 🧘♀️
It’s also another foundational pose that’s grounding & calming.
But it’s not always “easy.” For some of us, it’s a challenge (I have hip issues). If you have hip or knee problems, this one may not be for you.
How to Do Easy Pose
- Come into a seated position
- Cross your legs, one in front of the other ideally with each foot below the knees.
- Ground the sits bones onto the mat.
- Place your hands on your knees (palms up or down, your choice)
- Reach up with the crown of your head to lengthen your spine.
- Make sure to release your shoulders by dropping them down and back.
- Press your chest forward.
If you need help, you can put blocks under your knees if you have them, or use blankets or pillows. You can also sit on a blanket.
