Sukhasana (Easy Pose)
Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to sit comfortably with a straight spine for meditation or pranayama.
Students will understand the basic principles of grounding and spinal elongation.
Students will learn to relax the hips and inner thighs.
Description Of Activity
Starting Position: Sit on your mat with your legs extended straight out in front of you. You may want to sit on a folded blanket or cushion to elevate your hips slightly, which helps maintain a straight spine.
Cross Legs: Gently bend your knees and cross your shins. Bring one foot under the opposite knee and the other foot under the other knee, so your shins are crossed at the mid-point.
Foot Placement: Allow your feet to rest comfortably beneath the opposite knees. The outer edges of your feet should be on the floor, and your ankles should be relaxed.
Spinal Alignment: Lengthen your spine, drawing your tailbone down towards the floor and lifting the crown of your head towards the ceiling. Imagine a string pulling you upwards from the top of your head.
Shoulders and Chest: Relax your shoulders down and back, away from your ears. Gently broaden your collarbones and lift your chest slightly.
Hand Placement: Rest your hands gently on your knees, palms facing down (for grounding) or up (for receiving energy), or in a mudra of your choice (e.g., Gyan Mudra: thumb and index finger touching).
Gaze and Breath: Soften your gaze or close your eyes. Begin to observe your breath, allowing it to be natural and smooth.
Hold: Hold the pose for several minutes, focusing on your breath and maintaining a comfortable, upright posture.
Release: Uncross your legs and extend them forward. Shake them out gently before switching the cross of your legs and repeating on the other side to ensure balance.
