Keep your spine straight and keep your head and neck in one line. Place your hands on your knees in the Gyan Mudra.
Benefits of Swastikasana
This pose is good for practicing meditation. It is a comfortable way of sitting to ease the mind and an alternative pose for Padmasana and Siddhasana. So when you meditate and feel uneasy in one pose, just change into another.
Focus Points
Keep your spine straight at all times during this pose. If your knees are hurting while doing this pose, change your legs when pain arises.
