Sukasana

Sukasana is a seated cross legged pose, it is a Sanskrit word and it means “easy pose”. Suka = easy, Asana = pose.

Despite it’s name, Sukasana does not feel easy for a lot of people, and that’s because we have become used to sitting on chairs which has the effect of shortening our hip flexors and putting strain on our spine. So sitting on the floor and sitting up straight can be challenging the first few times you do this! However with practice you will quickly improve.
