Lotus pose is the stereotypical “meditation pose,” and yet most experienced meditators don’t sit like this. Why? Lotus demonstrates range of motion but it’s not a very relaxed way to sit for longer periods - there is often too much leverage on your knees. There is no right/wrong way to sit, using a chair is just fine, but variations of easy pose (cross-legged) are often the go-to for people who sit a lot. #lotuspose #posture | YOGABODY
