- Begin by sitting on a thick folded blanket. The blanket should make a solid base for you to sit upon. Sit near the edge of the blanket in the Staff Pose (Dandasana), with your legs stretched out on the floor in front of you.
- Cross your legs so your knees are wide, with one shin resting on top of the other. Slide your feet so they rest beneath knees of the opposite legs. Fold your legs close to your torso, but not too close — look down at your legs there should be a triangular gap formed by your two thighs and your crossed shins.
- Lengthen your spine with the crown of your head towards the ceiling and your tailbone towards the floor.
- Rest your hands on your knees palms down or in your lap palms up.
- Stay in this pose for as long as is comfortable.
- Breathe deeply through each step.
- Consult a yoga instructor or a doctor before performing this pose if you have a history of knee injuries.
Your folded blanket should lift you about six inches off the ground.
If you’re a beginner having some difficulty maintaining this pose, sit against a wall with a yoga block wedged between between your shoulder blades and the wall.
