Padamasana-(Lotus Pose)

"Padma" means "lotus" in Sanskrit. "Padmasana" means sitting in the "Lotus Pose". This posture is called Padmasana because the arrangement of the hands and feet resemble a lotus when seen from a distance. The two feet placed upon the opposite thigh resemble the leaves while the two hands placed one over the other resembles the lotus in full bloom.

Is there anything helpful for one who finds it difficult ? I mean excruciatingly almost...I can do it, but it's so strenuous to my right ankle and my knees that I worry I just have too stout of legs. It feels as though I bend cartilage and bone to get in this position! I just can hardly imagine getting to the point of others I see just moving their legs loosely in and out while in the pose. There is no substitute if one wishes to practice yogic flying .... :(
