Lotus position

Lotus position is a yoga pose where you sit with each foot on top of the opposite thigh. It is a comfortable pose that helps people relax and stay still for long periods of time. To do the lotus pose, start by sitting on the floor on a folded blanket or cushion. Then, cross your legs so one foot is resting on top of the opposite thigh. Make sure your feet, ankles, and knees are all lined up, and your back is straight. Finally, place your hands in your lap, palms up, and relax.
