Easy Seat Isn’t Always Easy!

Have you ever sat down for meditation or yoga practice and found yourself fidgeting, uncomfortable, or even in pain? You’re not alone! Sukhasana, or “Easy Seat,” is often anything but easy. Finding a comfortable seated position is essential for a sustainable and enjoyable practice, especially during meditation. Here are some helpful tips to support your body and find ease in your seat.

1. Sit on a Folded Blanket - Elevating your hips with a folded blanket can create a more comfortable angle for your knees and reduce strain on your lower back. This simple adjustment helps tilt your pelvis forward, promoting a more natural and relaxed spinal alignment.

2. Use Blocks or a Bolster - If your knees don’t easily rest on the floor, place yoga blocks or a bolster underneath them. This support allows your hips to relax and prevents unnecessary tension in your legs and lower back.

3. Sit Against the Wall - If you find it difficult to maintain an upright posture, try sitting with your back against a wall. This support can help you relax your lower back while still maintaining a lifted spine, making longer seated practices more comfortable.

4. Experiment with Different Positions - If traditional cross-legged sitting isn’t working for you, try butterfly legs with a bolster under your knees, sitting with legs extended, or even using a chair. Comfort is key—there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach!

Remember, the goal is to feel at ease in your body so that you can focus on your breath, stillness, and inner peace. Try these tips and let us know what works best for you!
