The article discusses the challenges of practicing Easy Pose (Sukhasana), particularly for those with tight muscles or joint pain. It emphasizes the importance of comfort, especially when this pose is linked to meditation. Yoga teacher Jivana Heyman suggests using props, such as bolsters or blocks, to improve alignment and posture. Various adaptations can support the hips and knees, providing a comfortable seating position that promotes tall sitting, an open chest, and overall ease, allowing individuals to practice effectively.
Sitting on a bolster is especially helpful for those with tight hamstrings and lower back issues, with the cushion elevating the hips and allowing the pelvis to tilt slightly forward, offering a more natural-feeling seat.
Finding a seat that's truly comfortable is crucial, especially as Easy Pose tends to be paired with meditation, which can already be challenging enough.
The most common seated yoga pose should help you sit tall, with an open chest and a sense of effortlessness.
These variations on a classic pose will help you relearn how to sit, making your experience more beneficial and accessible.
