Vajrasana Pose (vajrasana yoga) is a meditation posture with both legs folded underneath. Buttocks rest on the heels.

I find vajrasana very difficult for more than a few minutes. We often do it for taking refuge vows or other vows, but I don’t think it’s realistic to meditate in vajrasana. It’s too hard on the feet and ankles. However, we can use a meditation bench.

Vajrasana, also known as Diamond Pose, is a simple yet powerful yoga posture that can energize your body and mind. ‍♀️

Benefits:

  • Spark your digestion: Sitting in Vajrasana after meals can stimulate your digestive organs, promoting better nutrient absorption.
  • Boost your circulation: This pose helps improve blood flow throughout the body, leaving you feeling refreshed and invigorated. 🩸
  • Find inner peace: Vajrasana can calm your mind and promote relaxation, making it a great addition to your meditation practice.
