Easy?? Pose

wade-easy-pose-fbSukhasana, sometimes referred to as easy pose, isn’t always so easy.  When we were children we naturally sat in sukhasana to play, rest and relax.  As we grow up, we become more accustomed to sitting in chairs rather than on the floor.  As a result, the muscles of our hips become tighter and less mobile and easy pose no longer feels easy.  Luckily, there are several variations, some using blocks or blankets, that make this posture more accessible.

Are you thinking to yourself,  “Why bother?  I’ll just sit on a chair?” Keep reading for just a few of the benefits of sukhasana. Easy pose:

  • Stretches the muscles of the hips improving the mobility of the joint.
  • Strengthens  the muscles that support the spine.
  • Calms the mind and eases anxiety.
