Benefits &
Precautions:
This asana strengthens and activates
the function of the spinal nerves as those
in the lower part of the spinal cord get
good blood supply. It also helps in toning
the inguinal parts and keeps your mind
calm. It facilitates relaxation, concentration
and ultimately, meditation. When the knees
are stretched enough to remain in the
padma-asana without discomfort the posture
creates a feeling of effortlessness and
ease that will soothe the nervous system,
quiet the mind and bring about the condition
of one-pointedness.
