Bound Lotus - Baddha Padmasana

STEPS : Begin by simply sitting on a mat. Bring your left foot over the right thigh and right over the left. This is a simple padmasana. Exhale, swing your right arm behind the back, bring it near to the left hip, and catch the right big toe. Hold the position and inhale. Similarly, with an exhalation, swing your left arm back from the shoulders and go closer to the right hip with your hand. Catch the left big toe and inhale. Align your back and head. Eyes can be closed or remain partially open to gaze at the nose tip (Nasikagra Drishti). Now, breathe normally and maintain the posture.
