How To Do the Lotus Pose

[triplewee10]

i did this for 3 hours 53 min!

[espresso790]

I did it! Yay! Thank you!

[IFishyI]

my leg does not bend like that :(

[CrayonsNWafflecones]

you basically do exactly what the dude did at the beginning. BAM. done.

[jahlove111]

she has a beautiful body :)

[mariushkitty]

@jahlove111 Yah !

[DeepAstralJourneys]

Yoga is about mastering consciousness and connecting to god, I heard nothing of this in the video

[genericusername337]

@DeepAstralJourneys okay? its purpose wasn't to tell you the significance of yoga in its religious context

[jostpuur]

But how do you follow these steps, if you don't have enough flexibility to follow these steps???

[Fixdal]

@jostpuur lol yes

[danijmay]

@jostpuur Try sitting on your heels (AKA hero pose), which you can see her do in the background at first. This can also be strenuous initially, but will open up the tops of your ankles. From this position I spread my knelt legs to hip width and, keeping my knees in place, lay back on the floor. This works the knees - but be careful of the lower back. (I have never heard of this position anywhere, but I've done it ever since I was a child, just playing.. I'd be curious to know what it is)

[danijmay]

@danijmay Thirdly, to open the hips, try supine butterfly, or cobbler pose. In cobbler pose, hold underneath the feet firmly while straightening the lower back. You can even limply "flap" your knees like wings and encourage intermittent stretches...or lean forward and leverage your knees downward with your elbows. Furthermore, watch Esther Ekhart's (yogatic) video on padmasana. She gives advice which I hadn't been given before. This should be all that's especially needed.

[lost91231]

I done it 3times 4 was fail no idea why cant do that anymore :(

[wrobe00011]

I got this in my 1st try no practice! haha!! its so easy!! hahaha..

[Ruthinata]

what shit don't lose you're time doing this idiots!

kiss my ass jajaja tontos imbeciles putos

your mom is gay

[DoopaLoopa]

OH shut the fuck up howcast you ought to shove your fuckin' keyboard up your ass so that you cannot make such crap.

STupid fuckin' trancesdental masterbaters and goddamned grinning giggling monkey gurus all stealin' your money (actually a good thing so that you dipshits will imobilize yourself).

You all fail at eternity.

[jaymosen]

@DoopaLoopa ROFL!! wow! so u dont like that book? that psychotic rant seriously had me busting up for like 2 minutes strait!

[DoopaLoopa]

@jaymosen Hahaha just looking back at it makes DoopaLoopa crack up as well.

lmfao @ psychotic rant.

But seriously shut the fuck up you obviously clicked on this link to transcendetally masturbate. Well, I'll show you some TM... shove a thousand petalled lotus flower up your ass that some yogis shat out during a wet dream (cause they fake celibacy) and then you will asstrally project through uranus (equivalent to huffing 7 canisters of gasoline)

[jaymosen]

@DoopaLoopa lol im sure you know all about huffing gasoline...so thats how YOU "transcendetally masturbate" as you say? thats probably how you get your middle school style trollin ideas too. seriously you couldnt be a day over 12, you gay little boy. DoopaLoopa....ROFL!!! thats obviously a faggot little trolls name if i ever heard of one! all you can think of is things going up peoples asses??

[DoopaLoopa]

@jaymosen Well, coming out of the closet... yeah, more or less. Can't keep my mind from going up that "chocolate slide". boxes, brocolli, car keys, marmallows, poop they just shat out, feet, gurus skirt things, "mushrooms" , Corn on the cob, sonic the hedgehog, my little prarie dog, empty canisters, and of course CRYSTALS (beautiful shit the next day).

Oh and gasoline huffing + climbing equiment + three sweaty cuban guys + a ride on a biplane = TRANSCENDENTAL SEX!!!!!!! (TS) Ask your guru today

[ChixBand]

can someone please tell me how to exercise so i can do this pose? when i try to put the last leg on my thigh...i can lift it. can someone please help? :) thanks!

[Fixdal]

@ChixBand Get the book "Becoming the Lotus by Martin Faulks. It is perfect, except foor the mediation instructions at the end, which I personally dont reccomend. The rest of the book though I strongly reccomend. It iis on amazon.com

[ChixBand]

@Fixdal thanks, but im not keen on buying things online yet. lol thanks anyway :3

[DoopaLoopa]

@Fixdal Shut the fuck up, just because you suck at life doesn't mean that you have attempt to drag everyone down with your horseshit.

Stop living unconsciously and actually WORK on something, of course failures like yourself can only trancendentally masterbate.

[Fixdal]

@DoopaLoopa hello Mr. Loopa. Did we get off on the wrong foot here? Was it that I didnt reccomend the meditation techniques? Lets have a coversation. Your, friend, Fixdal.

[DoopaLoopa]

@Fixdal NO! YOU got off on the wrong foot. In fact, you probably shit out of your face and smoke out of your asshole (poo smoke, of course). DL never gave you permission to let you talk to him so shut the fuck up and how dare you refer to yourself as a friend, fuck face. Go shove your anahata chakra up your ass!

Meditate on this mantra you piece of shit:

"I suck at life... worse than jesus christ... he got nailed to a cross... but I just fuckin' suck at everything"

hahahahahahahahahaha

[OnlineMeditation]

cool, simple and clear video

[crittoprrr]

Holy hot lotus chick! Can you show me Phoenix Playing in a Red Cave?

[appleofmypie]

I loled at the warning cause i first did this pose when i was like 5 and have been able to ever since. I can snap into it without using my hands, and can fold in half when i do it. still cant touch my toes though xP

[crittoprrr]

@appleofmypie Hamstring flexibility isn't required for Lotus. I wish I could do it, I find it really difficult.

[appleofmypie]

@crittoprrr ahh yeah i know, its just people expect that if you can do that you're really flexible which isn't the case for me, i guess seeings as i learned i could do it from so young the ability just stayed with me. Wish i could touch my toes aha xD

[199madison]

its easy ill post of vid of that tomorrow right now its 3:10 in the morning gnight everyone!

[alicia31122]

ooooo ive been doing this in pre-k had no idea what this was

[mopo112]

I've been doing yoga for a year now, and I still cant do the lotus! My ankles hurt when I try it! Is it possible that my legs are too long? I mean. I am six foot tall..

[Fixdal]

@mopo112 there is a very good book called Becoming the Lotus on amazon.com

[TenTonTommy777]

@mopo112

you should focus on limbering your ankles doin the diamond pose!

you see japanese people doing that constantly...you sit on your knees with your buttocks resting on your heels and the upside of your feet flat to the ground..you will feel it's stretch and might hurt so work your way up in secs and/or minutes...i had the same prob like...it really works and size doesn't not matter i'm 6ft 4 ;)

[Brasacrasta]

That's fuckin impossible to me. I wish i can do it one day....

[K9girl29]

ohhh man tt was heaven V.V

[shion255]

no, palms down is no good. a few minutes still will prove it

[TheMFrogue]

they are showing only root chakra release.....

[JewSunStar]

very detail. Thank you

[missnicolemiller95]

love this one so chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiil

[FoxHound212]

now thats a women

[SpoonsForks]

@FoxHound212 plural? lol you mean woman....

[MeatyCockandBallz]

I can't do this for the life of me. I've got some serious stretching work to do!

[SJamesGray]

Only do it like the video says if you are female. If you are male, the left foot should go on the right thigh first, so that the legs are reversed. This is for subtle energy body purposes.

Also, cosmic mudra is much more comfortable for the hands. Look up zazen for that.

[349410]

i can do this with no hands XD

[DGAF100]

To do this practice the cow face pose, pigeon pose, and your basic stretches(hamstrings. ETC)

[AmnistY21]

yeah ,it would be relaxing if i could do it ...it's a lot harder than it seems and if you 're not working regularly it's almost mission impossible

[Rookycastle22]

So relaxing

[bboybrok3nwing]

my knee always fucking comes up i am so frustrated

[LexiiBaiibeee]

This is really easyy...

[nikeballin]

Try bboying/Breakdancing

its like yoga..but more hard work :)

haha

[xXGaticaXx]

How do you reach the flexibility to achieve this position at all? what are some good exercises and positions to do to help hip and knee flexibility? I can't even cross my darn legs :C

[MrWowza8]

i could do it!!!! easily without hands!!!!!

[gnrytu]

hard as hell to do, it looks easy but it actually hurts

[UFCfreak028]

Dude! Its not supposed to hurt :S take it easy :S

[sloppymantis]

google ads ruined youtube

[KaisWOWBand]

@sloppymantis No no no, GOOGLE ruined youtune.

[sloppymantis]

@KaisWOWBand indeed that is more accurate

[afin85]

@sloppymantis actually made it profitable so it can still exist. 30 sec is not a lot time for free service :)

[85mariapatricia]

@sloppymantis you ruined youtube

[Fragem420]

i cant even do a half lotus im very stiff

[tygesh]

She is cheating. Her left knee doesn´t touch the floor. Bad girl!!!

[mytube1349]

you got thumbs down but you're exactly right.

she is doing it wrong, both knees should rest on the ground.

its not a huge deal if you're flexible but don't make a habit of it.

if you aren't flexible, you can really mess up your knees, badly.

[premachu3]

@ TheQuyenChannel

were all not Indian.

[TrekaXxx]

after some time this is easy, ive been trying for months now to do it withought hands

funny this is for meditation most people i know that do it use it to hop in onehand and spin around

[TheQuyenChannel]

it's so easy :P

[SGSacaindo916]

chicks hot

[swedishzug]

what if your a fucking tall german swede

[staturanus671]

this hurts -_-'

[gymmyp1]

i agree with Jarenjang.

[MichelleSeven]

okay, that i can do =) can not everyone do that? hmm..?

[bumper3000]

knees should touch the floor

[zwinky010101]

Holy Fat Legs!

[lpurple1500]

It is the middle finger and thumb, not index, As I should know because I am a buddhist and go to temple regularly.

[Jarenjang]

i can hardly get my left foot over.. i thought you were gonna show us some progressive stretches that'll eventually lead up to it =(

[fuaburisu]

Exactly. Not one video shows how to GET THERE. Instead they show what you can figure out in 1 second just by looking at someone sitting in that pose. Bend your knees, put one feet one one thigh, etc. Wow!! I couldn't figure it out ! Duh. How about some stretches for the 99% of people who lack flexibility instead of showing people how to injure themselves without preparations?

[teamarlus187]

May i fuck ur feet?

[Crushments]

isnt the left leg supposed to be touching the floor?

[authathletics]

wow, that's a pretty weak video. Nice production but picture of the pose alone is as useful as that was. How about a progression of sorts?

[stsober]

i prefer the silence to the squawking bird and the midi gong that went on throughout the last two similar videos i watched

[omgmt19]

i cant get past step 3 :|

im not that flexible :( XD

[laoguybrian54]

you have to keep doing it so you will get used to it

[sambie72]

first
