2. Sit on it in the usual way.

3. Bend the legs so that the knee position is near the chest.

4. In this position the legs will be crossed.

Fruit of Asana

It is quite easy to sit erect in this asana for long duration, since the body is supported by the hands on the sides. Benefits of Padhmasana are also got.

Note:-

This is nothing new. Old people who sit on the ground, when they want to get up they place the palms on the ground on the sides and applying some force, they easily get up.
