Perfect Lotus Pose (Padmasana) Technique
Lotus Pose (Padmasana) is yoga's most iconic meditation posture, representing the pinnacle of seated hip opening and spiritual practice.

Named after the sacred lotus flower that blooms from muddy waters, this pose symbolizes spiritual awakening and inner purity.
