Padmasana is one of the best yoga asanas that helps you beat stress, relax your mind and body and the entire nervous system.
Padmasana is a term derived from the Sanskrit word 'padma' which means lotus and 'asana' which means seat or throne. It has been practised since ancient times by the rishis for meditation purposes too.
It isn't just stress, but padmasana has proved to be helpful in strengthening the hips, muscles and spines too.
It has proved helpful in toning the pelvic region and for those who practice padmasana during pregnancy, it has been extremely helpful for them in achieving an easy childbirth.
Step-wise Procedure To Perform Padmasana

2. Then, try to bend the right knee, hold the right leg with your hands and place it on your left thigh.
3. Ensure that your foot is close to the abdomen and touching the navel.
4. Take your left leg and place it on the right thigh.
5. Place your hands on the knees and make certain mudras with your hands.

7. Take a long, deep breath and sit in the same position for sometime.
8. Change the leg position and repeat the pose.
9. Slowly open the palms and release the legs back to the normal position.
