Lotus Pose - Padmasana and Hero Pose - Virasana

Thursday September 15, 2005
Lotus Pose - Padmasana is a yoga classic and is one of the most recognized poses, even outside the yoga community. It is an advanced pose, however, and should be approached with caution by novices. Although this pose is often used for meditation, it may not be comfortable for beginners, so use an alternative if necessary. Hero Pose - Virasana is a great choice!
