Vajrasana - Thunderbolt Pose
STEPS : Sit down on a flat floor or yoga mat. Fold the knees and ankles backwards and point the feet in line with your legs. The bottoms of the feet should face upward touching the big toes. The buttocks should rest on the heels and thighs should rest on your calves. Keep your spine, neck, and head straight. Keep your head straight and gaze forward. Keep your chin parallel to the floor. Keep the right palm on the right knee and the left palm on the left knee, with elbows in a straight line. Close your eyes and start deep breathing. Inhale deeply for four counts and exhale slowly to eight. To come out of Vajrasana, slowly raise the glutes and thighs of your lower legs, until you are back into a kneeling position. Then stand up slowly.
